Algebra.Com's Answer #224052 by moshiz08(60) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's call the first angle x, \n" ); document.write( "and the second angle y. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(eq1) \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We need to express the statement as an equation: \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the measure of the first angle and one-fourth the second angle is 84.75 degrees: \n" ); document.write( "(eq2) \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can rewrite (eq1) as \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope that helps. \n" ); document.write( " |
