Question 977198: An angle measures 26� less than the measure of a complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
A + B = 90
A = B-26
(B-26) + B = 90
2B -26 = 90
2B = 64
B = 32
.
If B is 32, then A is 32+26, or 58
32 + 58 = 90
