Question 439129: The measurement of one of two complementary angles is three greater than twice the measur of the other. Find the measure of each. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The measurement of one of two complementary angles is three greater than twice the measure of the other. Find the measure of each.
---------
Let one of the angles be "x".
The other is "90-x".
--------
Equation:
90-x = 2x+3
3x = 87
x = 29 degrees
2x+3 = 61 degrees
