so if an angle measures more than the measurement of its complementary angle, then the measurement of its complementary is degrees Answer by ikleyn(52818) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
An angle measures 61.8 more than the measurement of its complementary angle.
What is the measure of each angle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let the unknown angle be x degrees.
Then the complementary angle is (90-x) degrees.
The problem says
x - (90-x) = 61.8 degrees.
Simplify, solve and find x
2x = 61.8 + 90
2x = 151.8
x = 151.8/2 = 75.9 degrees. ANSWER
