Question

Two angles add to 90°. The larger angle is 12° more than five times the measure of the smaller angle. Find the measure of the two angles.

Answer 1

13 and 77 degrees

Explanation:

First, you start by subtracting 12 from the 90..

90 - 12 = 78

then, take 78 and divide it by 6.

78/6 = 13

13 is the measure of your smaller angle.

multiply 13 by 5 and then add 12 to find the measure of the larger angle.

13 x 5 = 65

65 + 12 = 77

77 is the measure of your larger angle.
