Here are the answers to the questions you've provided:

a) Define acute angle
An acute angle is an angle that measures greater than 0∘0^\circ but less than 90∘90^\circ.

b) Write the name of the angle formed in the straight line.
The angle formed by a straight line is called a straight angle. Its measure is 180∘180^\circ.

c) What is the straight line?
A straight line is a one-dimensional figure that extends infinitely in both directions, has no thickness, and no curvature.

d) Find the value of x.

  1. Identify the relationship between the angles.

    The angles x∘x^\circ and 120∘120^\circ are adjacent angles on a straight line AB. Angles on a straight line sum to 180∘180^\circ.

  2. Set up the equation.

    x∘+120∘=180∘x^\circ + 120^\circ = 180^\circ
  3. Solve for x.

    x∘=180∘−120∘x^\circ = 180^\circ - 120^\circ x∘=60∘x^\circ = 60^\circ

    The value of x is 60\boxed{60}.

    e) Construct the following angle by using compass and pencil:

    *a) 90∘90^\circ

    *b) 30∘30^\circ

    a) Construction of 90∘90^\circ angle:

    1. Draw a ray OA.
    2. With O as the center and a convenient radius, draw an arc that cuts OA at P.
    3. With P as the center and the same radius, draw an arc that cuts the first arc at Q.
    4. With Q as the center and the same radius, draw an arc that cuts the first arc at R.
    5. With Q and R as centers and a radius greater than half of QR, draw two arcs that intersect each other at S.
    6. Join OS. Angle AOS is 90∘90^\circ.

    b) Construction of 30∘30^\circ angle:

    1. Draw a ray OA.
    2. With O as the center and a convenient radius, draw an arc that cuts OA at P.
    3. With P as the center and the same radius, draw an arc that cuts the first arc at Q. This creates a 60∘60^\circ angle (angle AOQ).
    4. With P and Q as centers and a radius greater than half of PQ, draw two arcs that intersect each other at R.
    5. Join OR. Angle AOR is 30∘30^\circ.
