Question

the complement of an angle is 16 less than the angle. find the angle

Answer 1

Answer: 37°

Step-by-step explanation:

For 2 angles to be complementary their sum should be equal to 90.

If one angle ix the other angle should be (x-16) and their sum = 90.

Thus x + x-16 = 90, or

2x = 90+16 = 106, hence

x = 53.

So one angle is 53 deg and the other is 37 deg.
