Question

6. (
(x-40) and (x+10) are the measures
of complementary angles. Find the
measure of
a each angle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

180-40 = 140 and 90+10 = 100

Answer 2

Answer:

( x-40° ) + ( x+10°) = 90°

x-40° + x+10° = 90°

2x-30° = 90°

2x-30°+30° = 90°+30°

2x=120°

2x= 120

---------

2

x = 60

x-40=60-40=20 and x+10=60+10=70

Therefore, the measures of the angles are 20° and 70° respectively.
