Question

The complement of an angle measures 20 more than the angle. Find the number of degrees in the angle

Answer 1

35°

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if they add to 90 degrees.

Set up your equation;

x+x+20=90

-20=90-20

2x=70

/2=/2

x=35

Therefore, the first angle is 35 degrees, and the second is 55 degrees.

Hope this helps:) Have a good rest of your day!

Answer 2

let the measure of its complement be x°.
then, measure of angle = (x + 20)°. and measure of angle = (35 + 20)° = 55°
