find the measure of the angle,its complement,and its supplement when.....
\n" ); document.write( "twice the angle is 72degress less than the supplement of the angle.
\n" ); document.write( "i have writen the formula i thought is the outcome of this,but i believe its incorrect
\n" ); document.write( "2x=72-180-x
\n" ); document.write( "is this correct?
\n" ); document.write( "but i do understand that in order to fine to complement and the supplement you must use 90-x and 180-x.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Almost, it says \" 72 less than the supplement\" so it should be
\n" ); document.write( "2x = (180-x) - 72
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 180 - x - 72
\n" ); document.write( "2x + x = 180 - 72
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 108
\n" ); document.write( "x = 36
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
