Question

Two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 36° more than twice the measure of the
other angle. Find the measures of the two angles.

Answer 1

Respuesta:

y=48 , x=132

Explicación paso a paso:

They tell us that two angles in this case x, y are complementary, that is, x + y = 180.

They also tell us that an angle in this case x = 36 + 2 (y).

Replacing would be:

(36 + 2y) + y = 180

3y = 180-36

3y = 132

y = 48

Plugging in at x, x = 36 + 2 (48) = 132.

x = 132, y = 48
