Algebra.Com's Answer #117447 by vleith(2983)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) Let one angle be x. The other angle is 2x+6. The two angles together equal 90 \n" ); document.write( "so \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The larger angle is 2*28 + 6 = 62.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2)Use the same process as problem one for this one. \n" ); document.write( "Let x be the angle. The complement is then (90-x). The Supplement is (180-x) \n" ); document.write( "You are told the supplement is 5 times the complement. \n" ); document.write( "So \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The complement is 90-67.5 = 22.5 \n" ); document.write( "The supplement is 180 - 67.5 -= 112.5 \n" ); document.write( "The \n" ); document.write( " |
