Question 321210: two angles are complentary if their sum is 90 degrees. If measure of the 1st angle is x degree, and the measure of the second angle is (3x-2); find measure of each angle.. Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! X+(3X-2)=90
X+3X-2=90
4X=90+2
4X=92
X=92/4
X=23 DEGREES FOR THE SMALLER ANGLE.
3X-2=3*23-2=69-2=67 DEGREES FOR THE LARGER ANGLE.
PROOF:
23+57=90
90=90
