If x and y are the two angles, then

x + y = 90

and x - y = 18

Adding the two equations together gives 2x = 108 so that x = 54

and then y = x - 18 = 36

What are the methods used to compute the measures of complementary and supplementary angles?

The methods are subtraction. -- Subtract an angle from 90° to find its complementary angle. -- Subtract an angle from 180° to find its supplementary angle.

How do you find and compare measures of angles?

To find and compare measures of angles, you can use a protractor to measure the angle in degrees or radians directly. Alternatively, you can use geometric relationships, such as complementary angles (summing to 90 degrees) or supplementary angles (summing to 180 degrees), to deduce their measures. For comparison, you can visually assess the angles or calculate their measures algebraically if they are part of geometric figures. Finally, using trigonometric functions can also help in finding and comparing angles in right triangles or circles.

Complementary angles add up to 90*, so a 60* angle's complement is 30*.


Two complementary angles have a difference of eighteen degree find their measure?

If the angles are A and B, then A - B = 18 Also, comp angles => A + B = 90 So A = 54 deg, B = 36 deg


If two angles are complementary. And the measure of one angle is 3 degrees greater than twice the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of the greater angle?

If there were not that difference of 3o, the angles would be 60 and 30. Because of the difference the angles must be 61o and 29o.
