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) = 90
2x - 15 = 90
2x - 15 + 15 = 90 + 15
2x = 105
2x/2 = 105/2
x = 52.5
x - 15 = 52.5 - 15 = 37.5
Thus, the complementary angles are 37.5 and 52.5 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
Suppose two angles are complementary If one angle has a measure of 62 what is the measure of the second angle?
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.
