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).
Two angles are complementary One angle has a measure that is five times the measure of the other angle What is the measure in degrees of the larger angle?
Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees. If the smaller angle is x, the larger is 5x, so 6x = 90. X equals 15, and the larger angle measures 75 degrees.

The measure of an angle is 4 times its complements find the measures of both angles?
Complementary angles total 90 degrees so smaller is 90/5 ie 18 and larger 72.
What is the relationship between complementary and supplementary angles?
For any given angle, its supplementary angle is 90 degrees larger than its complementary angle.
One of two complementary angles has a measure that is six more than twice the other's Find the measure of the larger angle?
this is what i have: X= 6+(90-X)+2(90-X) and i got 42 degrees?
If one angle is 10 more than 3 times as large as another angle which is complementary to it what is the measure of the smaller angle?
The smaller angle is 20 degrees and the larger is 70 degrees. Complementary angles total 90 degrees. Let's call the smaller angle A. The other angle is 3A + 10. The sum of both angles is 90, so 4A +10 = 90, 4A = 80, A = 20. The larger angle is 3(20) + 10 = 70.
The measure of an angle is 28 degrees greater than its complement find the measure of each angle?
Suppose the larger angle is x degrees. Then the smaller angle is x - 2 degrees, and so they sum to 2x - 28 degrees. The two angles are complementary, so 2x - 28 = 90 is 2x = 90 + 28 = 118 so that x = 118/2 = 59 degrees and then x - 29 = 59 - 28 = 31 degrees. The two angles are 59 and 31 degrees.
The larger of two complementary angles measures 6 degrees less than twice the smaller angle find the degree measure of each angle?
let x=smaller angle2x-6=larger anglex+(2x-6)=903x-6=903x=96x=322x-6=58
In the right triangle the ratio of the measures of the two acute angles is 4 to 1 what is the measure in degrees of the larger acute angle?
It is: 72 degrees
If one angle is twice its complement then what is the number of degrees in the smaller of the two angles?
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Smaller angle: x Larger angle: 2x 2x+x=90 3x=90 x=30 The smaller angle is 30 degrees.
