Algebra.Com's Answer #119605 by tutor_paul(519) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let A1 be the first angle and A2 be the second angle. Since they are complementary, you can write the following equation: \n" ); document.write( "Equation #1: \n" ); document.write( "From the given information, you can also write this equation: \n" ); document.write( "Equation #2: \n" ); document.write( "Now you have 2 equations and 2 unknowns, so you can solve the problem. \n" ); document.write( "First, solve equation #1 for A1: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Next, substitute this expression for A1 into Equation #2: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now, you can solve for A2: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Next, just plug this value for A2 into equation #1 and you will have the value for A1. I will leave this part to you :-) \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( "Good Luck, \n" ); document.write( "tutor_paul@yahoo.com \n" ); document.write( " |
