if two angles are complementary and one is 10 less than three times the other then find the angle
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:80˚3,190˚3
Explanation:
m∠1=x
m∠2=2x+10
Since the angles are complementary,
m∠1+m∠2=90˚
Thus,
x+(2x+10)=90˚
3x+10=90˚
3x=80˚
x=m∠1=803
The other angle is 2x+10, or
m∠2=2(803)+10=1603+303=1903

Step-by-step explanation:
Given :Two angles are complementary, means their sum is 90 degree.Let the two angles be a and b.
a + b = 90 degree ......(1)
It is given in the question that one angle is ten less than three times the other angle, say
b = 10 less than 3* a( 3 times 'a' means 3 multiplied by a)
b= 3*a - 10 ......(2)
Now substitute the value of 'b'in (1)
a + b = 90
a + 3*a- 10 = 90 ( coefficient of a is 1 ,so 1*a +3a= 4*a)
4*a = 90 + 10
4*a =100
a = 100/4
a = 25
One angle 'a' is 40 degrees
N ow to find the value of other angle 'b', put in the value of 'a' in the equation (2)
b= 3*a - 10
b= 3*25 - 10
b= 75- 10
b= 65 degrees
