Question

An angle measures 7.2 degrees more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Angle 1+Angle 2=90 degrees (complementary angles)

45+45=90

(45+7.2)+(45-7.2)=90

52.2+37.8=90

Therefore,

Angle 1 = 52.2 degrees

Angle 2= 37.8 degrees

HOPE IT HELPS!!

Answer 2

Angle 1: x

Angle 2: x + 7.2

Adding both angles:

x + x + 7.2 = 90 (It is equal to 90 since they are complementary angles)

2x + 7.2 = 90

2x = 82.8

x = 41.4

Now find the value of both angles:

Angle 1: 41.4

Angle 2: x+7.2 = 41.4 + 7.2 = 48.6
