The two angles are 158o and 22o
Two supplementary angles add up to 180o
Let the smaller angle be x and the larger y, then:
y = 7x + 4o
x + y = 180o
→ x + (7x + 4o) = 180o
→ 8x = 176o
→ x = 22o
← y = 7 x 22o + 4o
= 158o

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.
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.
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 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
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.
What angle is an obtuse angle?
An obtuse angle is an angle that is larger that 90 degrees but smaller than a straight angle (180 degrees). An acute angle is smaller than 90 degrees, a right angle is exactly 90 degrees, and a reflex is larger than 180 degrees but smaller than 360 degrees.
If the larger angle of a rhombus is 126 degrees what is the measure of the smaller angle?
180 - 126 = 54 degrees.
What is the measure of the smaller of the two supplementary angles 4 to 5?
If 4 to 5 is the ratio then the smaller angle is 80 degrees
How do you measure a reflex angle?
A reflex angle must measure more than 180º and must be less than 360º.The easiest way to measure a reflex degree is to measure the smaller angle.Then subtract the smaller angle measure (in degrees) from 360º to find the reflex angle measure.A reflex angle is greater than 180 but less than 360 degrees

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 20 cm long and the shorter leg of the triangle is 6 cm long what is the measure of the smaller acute angle of the triangle?
The measure of the smaller acute angle of the triangle is: 17.46 degrees.

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 anglesis 4 to1What is the measure in degrees of the larger acute angle?
The two acute angles total 90 degrees. If the larger angle is 4 times the smaller angle, then the smaller angle is 18 degrees and the larger angle is 72 degrees (4 x 18 degrees).
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.
In degrees of intensity you have to go larger to smaller?
in degrees of intensity you have 2 go larger to smaller not smaller to larger
What is the unit used to measure angels and temperature?
Degrees is the measure for angles and temperature. "Degree" can apply to many things other than angles and temperature. In fact, a degree of angles is quite different from a degree of temperature. You might say more exactly that there are degrees F, degrees C, and degrees K acting as units of temperature measurements, in fact. Also more precisely, you might say that there are 'degrees of arc' as the unit measure of angles. But then, so are 'minutes' and 'seconds' a measure of arc - smaller units of a degree.
Are the angles of an equilateral triangle larger or smaller than 90 degrees?
They are smaller - 60 degrees.
