Question

Two angles are complementary and the measure of the smaller angle is 50 degree less than the measure of the larger. Find the measure of the larger angle ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let larger angle = x

smaller angle = x - 50

x + (x - 50) = 90° [ Complementary angles sum is 90]

2x - 50 = 90

2x = 140

x = $\frac{140}{2}$ $= 70$

Measure of larger angle = 70°
