Question

3 times the measure of an angle is 14 less than the measure of its complement. What is the measure of the angle?

A.) 19°
B.) 57°
C.) 71°
D.) 76°

Answer 1

Let the measure of the angle be x and from that the measure of its complement is 90 - x. The equation that best represent the given condition above is,
3x = (90 - x) - 14
The value of x from the equation above is 19. Thus, the answer is letter A.
