Question

The measure of angle A is 55⁰ and is complementary to the measure of angle B. If the measure of angle B is 5 x , what is the value of x ?

Answer 1

Answer:

A+B=90° (since they are complimentary angles)

55°+B=90°

B=90°-55°

B=35°=5x

5x=35°

x=7°

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps☺

Answer 2

Answer:

x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are called complementary when their measures add to 90 degrees.

Measure of Angle B if Angle A is complementary to Angle B = 90-55= 35

If Angle B = 5x

5x =35

x = 35/5

x= 7
