Question

If A and B are complementary angles and A = (8x+20), B = (7x-5) find A

Answer 1

m∠A = 60°

Explanation:

Complementary Angles add up to 90°

Step 1: Set up equation

8x + 20 + 7x - 5 = 90

Step 2: Solve for x

15x + 15 = 90

15x = 75

x = 5

Step 3: Find m∠A

m∠A = 8x + 20

m∠A = 8(5) + 20

m∠A = 40 + 20

m∠A = 60°
