Angles A and B are complement of each other if angle A= x-20 degree and Angle B = x-30 degree find the measure of both the angles
Answers
Answer :
50 degree and 40degree
Step-by-step explanation :
angle A + angle b is = 90 degree
(x-20) +( X - 30)= 90
2x= 50 + 90
x = 140 / 2
x = 70
angle A= 70 - 20 =50
angle B = 70 - 30 =40
Given:
Angles A and B are complements to each other. Also, angle A= x-20 degree and Angle B = x-30 degree.
To find:
The measure of both the angles.
Solution:
The measure of angle A and angle B is 50° and 40° respectively.
To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:
As we know if two angles A and B are complementary to each other then their sum will be equal to 90°.
This means,
Angle A + angle B = 90°
Now,
As given, we have,
Angle A = (x - 20)° ....(i)
Angle B = (x - 30)° ....(ii)
As both are complementary to each other,
So,
Angle A + angle B = 90°
(x - 20)° + (x - 30)° = 90°
2x - 50 = 90
2x = 140
x = 70°
Now,
On putting the value of x in (i) and (ii), we have
angle A = 50°
and
angle B = 40°
Hence, the measure of angle A is 50° and angle B is 40°.
