Question 347481: solve
two angles are complementary if their sum is 90 degrees. if the measure of the first angle is x degrees, and the measure of the second angle is (3x-2) degrees, find the measure of each angle Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! two angles are complementary if their sum is 90 degrees. if the measure of the
first angle is x degrees, and the measure of the second angle is (3x-2) degrees,
find the measure of each angle
:
x + (3x-2) = 90
4x = 90 + 2
4x = 92
x =
x = 23 degrees is the first angle
then
3(23) - 2 = 67 degrees is the 2nd angle
