<PRE><B>Question 173134</B>
a) Given the non-right angles in a right triangle, if twice the first is 16 more than twice the second, find the angles.
------------------
The two non-right angesare complementary.
If one is x the other must be 90-x.
----------------------------------------
EQUATION:
2(90-x) = 2x+16
180 - 2x = 2x + 16
4x = 164
x = 41 degrees (one of the angles)
90-x= 49 degrees (the other angle)
=====================================
