Question

An angle measures 1.2° more than the measure of its complementary angle. what is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

44.4°

Explanation:

Two complementary angles add up to 90°. Let's call one of the two x, and the second 90-x (in fact,
`x+(90-x) = 90`).

At this point we can use the second condition: the first angle, plus 1.2°, is equal to the complementary.

`x+1.2=90-x \rightarrow 2x=88.8 \rightarrow x = 44.4`
