Question

two angles are complementary the larger angle is 3degrees less than twice the measure of the each angle find the angles​

Answer 1

Answer:

Complementary angles are those pair of angles whose sum is 90 degrees.

Let x be the measure larger angle and y be the measure of smaller angle.

Accn to the given condition,

x = 2y - 3

We know that x + y = 90,

Substituting we get,

2y - 3 + y = 90

3y = 93

y = 31 degrees

then we get

x = 2 (31) - 3

x = 59 degrees
