Question 620937: one angle is 4 degrees more than three times another. find the measure of each angle if
a. they are complements of each other
b. they are supplements of each other
how do you solve this problem?

Let the measure (in degrees) of the smaller angle be x.
The measure of the larger angle is 3x+4 (4 degrees more than 3 times x).

a) If the angles are complements of each other, their measures add up to 90 degrees, so
--> --> --> --> --> is the measure of the small angle and is the measure of the larger angle (in degrees).

b) If the angles are supplements of each other, their measures add up to 180 degrees, so
--> --> --> --> --> is the measure of the small angle and is the measure of the larger angle (in degrees).
