Question 493383: The measure of an angle's complement is 17 more than the measure of the angle. Find the measure of the angle and its complement. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x + x + 17 = 90
2x = 73
x = 36.5 degrees
36.5 + 17 = 53.5 degrees.
36.5 + 53.5 = 90 degrees.
This does check.
