If two angles are complementary, then they equal 90 degrees.

If one angle is 62 degrees we subtract it from 90 and get 38 degrees.

Two angles are complementary the sum of the measure the first angle and half the second the angle is 77 degrees find the measure of the angles?

The second angle must be 2 x (90 - 77) ie 26o, so the other is 64o


Two angles are complementary If the measure of one angle is 20 more than the measure of the second angle what is the number of degrees in the measure of the smaller angle?

first you have to change this into equation by "translating" it into math. so let x= the first angle 90-x ( because complementary means they add up to 90) = the second angle x= (90-x) + 20 x+x = 90-x+20+x 2x = 90-20 2x = 70 x = 35 the smaller angle = 35 degrees


The second angle in a triangle is four times as large as the first The measure of the third angle is 80 degrees more than sum of the other two angles. Find the measure of the second angle?

Let the first angle be x the second angle be 4x and the third angle be 80+4x+x: x+4x+80+4x+x = 180 Collect like terms: 10x = 180-80 10x = 100 x = 10 Therefore the measure of the second angle is 40 degrees.


In a triangle the measure of the first angle is 24 degrees more than the measure of the second angle. The measure of the third angle is four times the measure of the second angle. If the total number?

Let the second angle be x degrees. The first angle would then be x + 24 degrees, and the third angle would be 4x degrees. According to the triangle angle sum theorem, the sum of all three angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore, you can set up the equation x + (x + 24) + 4x = 180 and solve for x to find the measures of all three angles.


Two angles are complementary the sum the measure of first angle and one-fourth of the second angle is 84º what are the angles?

Answer: first angle =52 degree, second angle = 128 degree. Solution: x+y=180 (1) x+y/4=84 now multiply both sides of last equation by 4: 4x+y=336 (2) subtract (1) from (2), ie. find (2) - (1): 4x-x + y-y = 336-180 3x=156 dividing last result by 3: 3x/3=156/3 x=52 substitue in eq. (1): 52+y=180 y=180-52=128

Two angles are complementary The first angle measures 35 What is the measurement of the second angle?

Lets assume that the first angle is A and the second angle is B. These two angles are complementary so their sum is 90. So if angle A is equal to 35, then this can be plugged into an algebraic formula: A + B = 90 (35) + B = 90 B = 55 The measure of the second angle is 55o


Find two complementary angles such that the measure of the first angle is 25 degrees less than the measure of the second?

If the angles are A nd B, then A + B = 90 and A = B - 25 So B - 25 + B = 90 or 2B = 115 or B = 57.5 and then A = 32.5


Two angles are supplementary.The second angle has a mesaure five times that of the first Find the measure of the angle?

Suppose the angle is x then the second is 5x. The two angles are supplementary so x + 5x = 180 or 6x = 180 so that x = 30 degrees.


How many degrees is a complementary angle that has 2 angles?

Complementary angles are angles whose sum is 90° . Consequently, the value of any one angle can be any number less than 90°. The value of the second angle is the difference between 90 and the value of the first angle.

How do you find the measure of the second angle when it gives you only one angle measure?

You can use various properties of angles to find the measure of the second angle. For example, if you can see that the two angles form a right angle, then you know they add up to 90°, so you can subtract the known measure from 90° to find the measure of the other.


The sum of the first two angles of a triangle are twice the measure of the third angle The first angle is half of the second angle What are the three angles?

The angles are 40, 80 and 60 degrees.


Wo angles are complementary the second angle measures 32 degrees less than the first angle What is the measure of the first angle?

29 degrees Let x represent the number of degrees of the smaller angle and y the number of degrees of the larger angle. Because the angles are complementary, x+y=90. From the problem, x=y-32. Now solve the equations by substituting x from the second into the first: y-32+y=90 2y-32=90 2y=90+32=122 y=122/2=61 x=y-32=61-32=29


If two angles are complementary and the sum of the measures of the first angle and half of the second is 87?

90 - 87 = 3 (half of the second angle)3 x 2 = 6 degrees (the second angle)90 - 6 = 84 degrees (first angle)
