Let x = the complement
3/4 x = the angle
The sum of the angles equals 90 degrees.
x + 3/4 x = 90
4/4x + 3/4 x = 90
7/4 x = 90
To "undo" multiplication by 7/4, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 7/4, which is 4/7.
degrees = the complement of the angle. This just got UGLY!
= the angle. This is REALLY ugly!!
Does it check??? Add the angles together degrees!
It checks!!
