Question

Angle x and y are complementary. Angle x is supplementary to a 128° angle. What are the measures of angle x and angle y.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Short answer? x is 52 degrees and y is 38 degrees.

But how did I get it you probably did not ask?

Let's run it back to the definitions of complementary and supplementary angles.

Complementary angles: 2 angles that add to get you a CLEAN 90 degrees

Supplementary angles: 2 angles that add to get you a CLEAN 180 degrees

So if x is supplementary to 128 degrees, it has to be 52 degrees to fit the definition. So yeah 180-128= 52 degrees

Now for x to be complementary to y, y has to 38 degrees. 90-52=38 degrees.

x: 52 degrees

y: 38 degrees

I teleport here again should you have anymore questions.
