Question

Find the measures of two complementary angles, ÐA and ÐB, if mÐA = (7x + 4)° and mÐB = (4x + 9)°. Measure of angle A = ... Measure of angle B =

Answer 1

The measure of angle A is 53 degrees

The measure of angle B is 37 degrees

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the measure of the two angle.

When how angles are complementary, it means the sum of both equals 90 degrees

mathematically ;

(7x + 4) + (4x + 9) = 90

7x + 4x + 4 + 9 = 90

11x + 13 = 90

11x = 90-13

11x = 77

x = 77/11 = 7

The measure of angle A = 7x + 4 = 7(7) + 4 = 49 + 4 = 53 degrees

The measure of B = 4x + 9 = 4(7) + 9 = 28 + 9 = 37 degrees
