The measures of two complementary angles are
(3y -1) and (4y + 7)
Determine the value of y
:
We know that complimentary angle add up to 90, therefore:
(3y-1) + (4y+7) = 90
Combine like terms
3y + 4y - 1 + 7 = 90
7y +6 = 90
7y = 90 - 6
7y = 84
y = 84/7
y = 12
:
Calculate the measure of each of the angles.
replace y with 12
3(12) - 1 = 35 degrees
4(12) + 7 = 55 degrees
------------------------
totals to: 90 degrees
