Question

the measure of one of two complementary angles is 14 less than three times the measure of the other. find both angles

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first angle = x

Second angle = 3x - 14

Now complementary angles always have sum of 90°

x + 3x - 14 = 90

4x - 14 = 90

4x = 90 + 14

4x = 104

x = 104/4

x = 26°

so

First angle = 26°

Second angle = 90 - 26

                       = 64°
