Question

An angle is 16 less than its complement. Find the measure of the
angle.

Answer 1

Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Angle be x. It's complement is x+26.

x +x+16=90

2x=90-16=74

x=74/2=37

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that,

An angle is 16 less than it's complement.

Let the angle be 'x'.

The other angle is 16 more than this angle

That is x+16.

x+x+16 = 90° (Because sum of the complement angles is 90°)

2x+16=90°

2x=74

x=37°

Therefore, x is equal to 37° and the complement angle is equal to 53°
