Question 217874: Two angles are complementary. The sum of the measure of one angle and half the second angle equal 70 degrees. What are the measures of the angles? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two angles are complementary.
x And (90-x)
:
The sum of the measure of one angle and half the second angle equal 70 degrees.
x + .5(90-x) = 70
x + 45 - .5x = 70
x -.5x = 70 - 45
.5x - 25
x = 50
:
What are the measures of the angles?
The angles would be 50 and 40 degrees
;
50 + .5(40) = 70
