Question

Angles p and n are complementary angles. Angle p measures 9xº and angle n measures 18º. What is the value

of x?

Answer 1

Answer: x=8

Explanation:

Complementary angles mean that they add up to 90 degrees. If angle n is 18, then angle p is 90-18 which is 72. Then you have the equation 72=9x. Divide both sides by 9 and x is equal to 8 degrees.
