The sum of the measures of the complement and supplement of an angle is 214 to the 0 power. Find the measure of the angle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I think you mean degree here, not 214^0, any no. ^0 is equal to 1 and that would not make sense
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let a = the angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(90-a) = the complement
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(180-a) = the supplement
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "These are given as = to 214, therefore we have:
\n" ); document.write( "(90-a) + (180-a) = 214
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "270 - 2a = 214
\n" ); document.write( "-2a = 214 - 270
\n" ); document.write( "-2a = -56
\n" ); document.write( "a = \"%28-56%29%2F%28-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "a = +28 degrees \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
