Question 802283: My question is: Find the measure of an angle if its measure is 8 less than its complement. I don't get what it's asking Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. So the question says that there are two angles such that when you add their measures, the sum is 90. Furthermore, one of the angles measures 8 degrees more than the other. So if the smaller of the angles measures , then the other must measure . then:
