Question

2) 23 and 24 are complementary angles. If m 23 = (x + 24)º and m 24 = (x )º, then

find the measures of these angles,

Answer 1

m<23 = 57° & m<24= 33°

Explanation:

You have to create an equation that equals 90°.

(x+24)+x=90

2x+24=90

2x=66

x=33

m<23 = 33+24= 57° so m<23= 57°

m<24= 33°
