Question

Find the measures of the complementary angles that satisfy each case.
b
The measure of the first angle is a third
the measure of the second angle.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

smaller angle = x

larger angle = 3x + 8

x + 3x + 8 = 180

4x + 8 = 180

4x = 172

x = 43

The smaller angle measures 43 degrees.

The larger angle measures 137 degrees.

When you add up these measurements, they add up to 180 degrees.
