Question

if an angle is 200 less than its compliment find its measure.​

Answer 1

Answer:

measure of complement angle is 90 degree . so this question can not be solved but instead of 200 20 is there then

x = given angle

y = complement

x and y are complementary angles, so, x+y = 90

y = 90 - x

------------------------------------

"An angle is 20 degrees less than its complement" which means x = y - 20

x = y - 20

 

x = (90-x) - 20 ... plug in y = 90-x

x = 90-x-20

x = -x+70

x+x = 70

2x = 70

x = 70/2

x = 35

The angle is 35 degrees (the complement is 90-35 = 55 degree
