Question 208076: Two angles are complementary. The sum of the measure of the first angle and half the second angle is 86 degrees. Find the measures of the angle. Answer by checkley77(12569) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y=90
x+y/2=86 subtract.
-----------------
y/2=4
y=8 ans. for the smaller angle.
x+8=90
x=90-8
x=82 ans.
Proof:
82+8/2=86
82+4=86
86=86
