Question

angle c and angle d are complemetary angles. m angle c = (17+2x) degrees and angle d = (x+10) degrees. Solve for x by writing an equation and solving for x. Then find m angle c and m angle d

Answer 1

x = 21

< c = 59 degrees and < d = 31 degrees

Explanation:

Complementary angles c+d=90 degrees

(17+2x) + (x+10) = 90 degrees

3x + 27 = 90

3x = 90-27

x = 63/3

x = 21

c = 17+2(21) = 17+42=59

d = 21+10 = 31

31+59=90
