Question 541283: Two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 10 less than nine times the measure of the other. Find the measure of each angle. Answer by friesr(113) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Angle 1 + Angle 2 = 90 degrees
Angle 1 = x
Angle 2 = 9x-10
---
x + (9x-10) = 90
---
10x - 10 = 90
---
10x = 100
---
x = 10
---
Angle 1 = 10 degrees
Angle 2 = 80 degrees
