Question

An angle measures 65.6° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the

measure of each angle? This is IXL w17 7th grade. Thanks!​

Answer 1

The 2 angles are 12.2 and 77.8 degrees.

Explanation:

Let the measure of one angle be x degrees, then it's complementary angle = 90-x degrees.

So we have the equation:

x = 90 - x - 65.6

2x = 90 - 65.6 = 24.4

x = 12.2 degrees.

Its complement = 90 - 12.2 = 77.8 degrees.
