Question 583727
The measure of an angle is fourteen times the measure of a complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
How do I even begin! I understand that a complementary angle equals 90', and that 14x90=1260...but I have to find two angle measurements....do i divide it in half?
**
let x=an angle
90-x=complement of the angle
..
x=14(90-x)
x=1490-14x
15x=1490
x=84º (measure of angle)
90-x=90-84=6º (measure of angle's complement)
Check: 84º is 14 times 6º
