Question

Two angles are complementary. The larger angle is 36 more than the smaller angle. What is the measure of the larger angle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 36 = larger number

x = smaller number

x + 36 + x = 90

2x + 36 = 90

2x = 90 - 36

x = 54/2

x = 27

larger number = 27 + 36 = 63

Smaller number = 27
