Question 498461: The measure of one angle is 24 degrees greater than the measure of its complement. What are the measures of the angles??
I can't make an equation. If i have an equation, I can probably take it from there.
thanks! Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x + x + 24 = 90
2x = 66
x = 33 degrees, The smaller angle.
33 + 24 = 57, This is the larger angle.
57 + 33 = 90 degrees.
This does check.
