Three angles are complementary. Two of the angles are equivalent. If the third angle is 10 degrees, what must be the measurement of the other angles?

if three angles are complementary, then they all ad up to 90 degrees. if the third angle is 10 degrees, then there are multiple answers for the other angles. one could be 35 degrees and 45 degrees.

Answer:

The first angles is 40

The second angle is 40

The third angles is 10

P.S I put this in a random order.

You could do this too

The first angle is 10

The Second angles is 40

The third angle is 40

The oder does not matter but the numbers do

Explanation:

So complementary angles add up to 90 Degrees. SO if 2 angles are the same and the third angle is 10. Then subtract 90-10 which is 80. Then divide it by 2 because 2 angles have the same length. 80/2 is 40. So the measurement of the other angles is 40 degrees.
