One of 2 complementary angles is 6 degrees larger than one half of the other angle what is the measure of each angles?
34o & 56o To find it you need to set up some algebraic equations: Let x be one angle and y the other. So x=(1/2)*y + 6 (one-half of the other angle plus 6 degrees) Since the angles are complimentary, they must add to 90o So, Y + (1/2)*Y + 6 = 90 Solving for Y = 56o and X = 90 - Y or 90-56 = 34o

Two angles are complementary the measure of the larger angle is twice the measure of the smaller angle find the measure of the larger angle?
the larger angle is 60 and the smaller angle is 30.complimentary angles are 2 angles forming 90 degrees.
What is The measure of the smaller of two complementary angles is 15 degrees less than the measure of the larger angle Find the measure of each angle?
Two angles that add up to a right angle are called complementary angles.Let the larger angle be x degrees, then the smallest angle is x - 15 degrees. So we have:x + (x - 15) = 902x - 15 = 902x - 15 + 15 = 90 + 152x = 1052x/2 = 105/2x = 52.5x - 15 = 52.5 - 15 = 37.5Thus, the complementary angles are 37.5 and 52.5 degrees.
Two angles are complementary the sum of the measures of the larger angle and three times the measure of the smaller angle is 114 degrees what is the measure of each angle?
The question is contradictory as complimentary angles are defined as having a sum of 90 degrees.
In the right triangle the ratio of the measures of the two acute angles is 4 to 1 what is the measures in degrees of the larger acute angle?
the two acute angles have a sum of 90. If the ratio is 4:1, then there are five units to split. Divide the 90 degrees by 5.90/5 = 1818 * 4 = 72So the larger angle has a measure of 72 degrees and the smaller angle is 18 degrees.
Two angles are complementary. The larger angle is 5 times bigger than the smaller angle. What are the measurements of each?
We know complementary means they add up to 90 degrees. Let x = small angle Therefore 5x = bigger angle x + 5x = 90 6x = 90 x = 90/6 x = 15 Therefore the smaller angle is 15 degrees and the bigger angle is 75 degrees (15 x 5).
