if an angle is 16 Less than twice
ik complement, how much does
each angle measure
Answers
Answer:
For this question, all you need to know is the meaning of complement of an angle. Sum of complementary angles is equal to 90 degrees. So, when we say an angle is complement of another angle, it simply means that their sum is 90 degrees. That is, complement of an angle is 90 - that angle.
In the given question, 16 degrees less than complement of angle say x, translates to (90-x) - 16
Using the above information, you can directly form an equation and get the desired value of x.

Answer:
37°
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles sum to 90 degrees, so if one angle is x degrees its complement will be 90-x degrees.
x = (90-x) -16 add x to both sides
2x = 90 -16 simplify
2x = 74 Divide both sides by 2
x = 37 degrees, the complement of 37 is 53, since 90–37 = 53, and 53 is 16 more than 37.
