Question 854552: measure of an angle is 56 degrees greater than its complement.
Answer by yilmoo(2) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
Our angle, angle X, paired up with its buddy Y equals 90.
However, measure of X is 56 greater than Y. (X = Y + 56)
Sooo, x + y = 90
x + (x - 56) = 90
2x - 56 = 90
2x = 146
x = 73
Angle Measure of X = 73
Angle Measure of Y= 17 {y = 73-56}
