Algebra.Com's Answer #113392 by orca(409)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let its complementary angle be x, then the angle itself is 4x + 5. \n" ); document.write( "As an angle plus its complement is equal to90 degrees, we have \n" ); document.write( "x + 4x + 5 = 90 \n" ); document.write( "5x + 5 = 90 \n" ); document.write( "5x = 85 \n" ); document.write( "x = 17 \n" ); document.write( "So the angle's complement is 17 degree. \n" ); document.write( "the angle is 90 - 17 = 73 degrees. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
