You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = the measure of the angle
:
Find measure of am angle whose compliment is 8 times its measure.
:
We know that the compliment of angle x = (90 - x)
:
Write an equation for the statement:
"Find measure of an angle whose compliment is 8 times its measure."
8x = 90 - x
8x + x = 90
9x = 90
x =
x = 10 degrees is the angle
:
:
You can see that it's complement will be 8(10) which is 80 degrees
90 - 10 = 80
:
This is not very hard, right?
