Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees
You can solve for the supplementary angle first. You can solve for the other directly, but the math is a little more involved.
Let A be an angle
Start with the supplementary angle.
A + ??? = 180
The angle you want is 12 less than twice as big
A + (2A - 12) = 180
Solve for A:
3A - 12 = 180
3A = 192
A = 64
Remember A is the supplementary angle, so subtract the angle we solved for (A) from 180 to find the angle you want.
180 - 64 = 116

If the supplement of an angle os twenty more than twice its complement what is the angle?
The angle is 20 degrees
The measure of an angle is 12 less than twice the measure of its supplement what is the measure of the angle?
116 degrees
The supplement of an angle is 30 degrees less than twice the measure of the angle itself find the angle and its supplement?
two-thirds of an angle is 30degree more than its supplemant. find the angle
What angle is twice the measure of its supplement and Find the measure of the two supplementary angles?
60 degrees and 120 degrees
The supplement of an angle is twice a large as the angle itself find the angle and its supplement?
The angle is 60°. Its supplement is 120°.
An angle's measure is twice its supplement's what is the measure of the two angles?
A supplemental angle "completes" a given angle to make it a straight angle (180 degrees). The supplement of 90 is 90. The supplement of 100 is 80. As long as the two angles add up to 180 they supplement each other. So, you have some angle, x and its supplement, 180-x. The supplement is twice as big as the angle. 180-x = 2*x Solve for x and you're done!
What would be an equation for the statement five times the complement of an angle less twice the angle's supplement is 40 degreesFind the measure of the supplement?
Suppose the supplement of the angle is x degrees. Then the angle is 180 - x degrees. Therefore the complement of the angle is 90 - (180 - x) degrees = x - 90 degrees. So 5*(x - 90) - 2*x = 40 Solve the above equation for x.
How do you find the measure of angle A if the supplement of angle A is 20 degrees greater than twice the complement of angle A?
The supplement of A is 180 - A The complement of A is 90 - A So, 180 - A = 2*(90 - A) + 20 or 180 - A = 180 - 2A + 20 So A = 20 degrees
The measure of an angle is twice of its supplement?
Supplementary angles total 180 degrees so your angles are one- and two- thirds of that respectively, ie 60 and 120 degrees.
Britt says that twice an acute angle is always an obtuse angle Is she right?
No. Because twice an acute angle is 60 degrees and an obtuse angle is 120 degrees. So the answer is no
Half the supplement of an angle is 12 degreees less than twice the complement of the angle Find the measure of the angle?
40 degres
If An angle is twice as large as its complement How large is the angle?
60 degrees.
