Question

An angle measures 74° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of complementry angles= 90

so 90 -74= 16 so 16 and 74

hope it helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n + n − 74° = 90°

2n − 74° = 90°

2n − 74° + 74° = 90° + 74°

2n = 164°

2n ÷ 2 = 164° ÷ 2

n = 82°

The first angle measures 82°. Now plug in n = 82° to find the measure of the other angle, n – 74°.

n − 74° =  82° − 74° = 8°

So, the two angles measure 82° and 8°.
