Algebra.Com's Answer #621405 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes, you have it set up correctly. \n" ); document.write( "Call the missing angle, v. \n" ); document.write( "The complement is then 4v. \n" ); document.write( "The equation is then, as you wrote, \n" ); document.write( "v + 4v = 90 \n" ); document.write( "Then \n" ); document.write( "5v = 90 \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 5 and get \n" ); document.write( "v = 18 degrees \n" ); document.write( " |
