Question 754468: Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Find the two complementary angles such that one of the angles is 230 degrees less than four times the other angle.(Round to two decimal places if necessary.) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Find the two complementary angles such that one of the angles is 230 degrees less than four times the other angle.(
----
1st angle: x
2nd angle: 4x-230
------
Equation:
x + 4x-230 = 90
5x = 320
-----
x = 64 degrees
4x-230 = 4*64-230 = 256-230 = 26 degrees
