How do you find the measure of the smaller of the two complementary angles whose measures differ by 23?
Let x and y be the two complementary angles.
So, x + y = 90 degrees
It's given their measures differ by 23.
So, x - y = 23 degrees. This gives, x = 23 + y
Plug in this value in the first relation, we'll get
23 + y + y = 90 which gives 2y = 67
So, y = 33.5
To get the x value plug in this value in any one of the above equations.
x + 33.5 = 90 . So, x = 56.5
We got the two values as x = 56.5 and y = 33.5.
Here 33.5 is the smaller value. That's the answer. That's it!
What else can I help you with?
The measure of an angle is 4 times its complements find the measures of both angles?
Complementary angles total 90 degrees so smaller is 90/5 ie 18 and larger 72.
What are subplementary angles and complementary angles?
Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.
What is the measure of an angle that is complementary to angle that measures 75?
It is 15 degrees because complementary angles add up to 90 degrees
What is the sum of measures of complementary angles?
Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees. Example: 50 and 40 degrees
What two angles are----if the sum of their measures in ninety?
Complementary
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.

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 complementary angles and suplementary angles?
Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.
What are subplementary angles and complementary angles?

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 is the sum of the measures of the two angles is 90?
If you're talking about two angles adding up to equal a total measure of 90, then the answer to your question is complementary angles.
If the sum of the measures of two angles is 90 the angles are this?
complementary
Why do complementary or supplementary angles not have to be adjacent?
complementary angles measures add to 90 and supplementary angles measures add to 180. Whether they are next to each other or not does not matter.
How do you use complementary angles in a math sentence?
We were to measure the complementary angles in the drawing.I found the complementary angles to be of equal lengths.
