Two Angles are complementary. One angle is 20 degrees less than 4 times the other. Find the measures of the angles
The angles are complementary, means that the sum of their measures is 90 degrees
Let the two angles be A and B.
A+B= 90
A+ 4*a-20=90
5a -20= 90
5a = 110
A = 22
B= 90-22=68
So, angle A measures 22 degrees, and angle B measures 68 degrees.
