Question

An angle measures 14.8° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
and

Answer 1

Answer:

The larger angle is 52. 4

The smaller angle is 37. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

(x-14. 8)+x=90

x+x-14. 8=90

2x=90+14. 8

2x=104. 8

x=52. 4

The value for the larger angle is x

and x =52. 4

The value for the smaller angle is x-14. 8

and x-14. 8=52.4-14.8

=37.6

Verification

(x-14.8)+ x=90

(52.4-14.8)+52.4=90

37.6+52.4=90

90=90
