Question 938156: The exterior sides of two adjacent angles make a right angle. The first angle has a measure that is 3 more than half of the second. What are the measures of both angles? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The exterior sides of two adjacent angles make a right angle.
These adjacent angles are Complementary: sum = 90°
.......
x + (x/2 + 3) = 90°
(3/2)x = 87°
x = (2/3)87 = 58°
the other is 32°
And...checking
sum = 90°
