Question

Two angles are complementary. The larger angle is 4∘ more than the smaller angle. Find the measure of the larger angle.

Answer 1

Answer:47

Explanation:

complementary angles are angles that add up to 90.

Writing this as an equation and using x so substitute for unknown values, we have:

x +(x+4) = 90

2x+4 = 90

subtract 4 from both sides

2x = 86

now divide by 2

x = 43

To find the larger one, we add 4 to this : 47
