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

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 complementary angle to a 70 degrees angle has a measure of?
Complementary angles add to 90 degrees so the complementary angle to 70 degrees has a measure of 20 deg.
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 an angle that is complementary to an angle that measures 75?
It is 15 degrees because complementary angles add up to 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 that measure at 90 degrees?
complementary angles
What does a complementary angle measure?
complementary angles- 2 angles that add up to 90 degrees
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 angles add up to measure 90 degrees?
Complementary angles.
What complementary angle to a 70 degrees angle has a measure of?
Complementary angles add to 90 degrees so the complementary angle to 70 degrees has a measure of 20 deg.
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.
If two angles are complementary and one of them is 32 degrees what must be the measure of the other?
58, complementary means the angles add to 90 degrees
Is complementary and suplementary is an angle?
Yes they are both the measure of angles and complementary angles add up to 90 degrees while supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees
What are two angles whose measure has a sum of 90 degrees?
They are a complementary pair of angles.
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 total of the measure of two angles is 90 degrees?
If you are asking what kind of angles add up to 90 degrees, the answer is complementary angles.
What is two angles the sum of whose measure is 90 degrees?
Complementary
