Question

The measure of _A is 18° greater than the measure of _B. The two angles are complementary. Find the

measure of each angle.
The m_A is
1° m
and m_B is

Answer 1

angle A=54 degree

angle B =36 degree

Explanation:

let angle B be x

angle A=x+18

since they are complementary angles sum of these two angles will be 90 degree

x+x+18=90

2x=90-18

2x=72

x=72/2

x=36 degree

substitute the value of x to find angle A and angle B

for angle A

x+18

36+18

54 degree

for angle B

angle B =x

=36 degree
