What is the complement of an angle whose measure 85?
Complementary angles sum to give 90 degrees. Therefore the complement to an 85 degree angle is a 5 degree angle.
What would be an equation for the statement five times the complement of an angle less twice the angle's supplement is 40 degreesFind the measure of the supplement?
Suppose the supplement of the angle is x degrees. Then the angle is 180 - x degrees. Therefore the complement of the angle is 90 - (180 - x) degrees = x - 90 degrees. So 5*(x - 90) - 2*x = 40 Solve the above equation for x.
How many degrees are there in an angle If there are two-fifths as many degrees in the complement of an angle as there are in its supplement?
Suppose the angle is x degrees. Its complement is 90 - x and supplement is 180 - x So 90 - x = 2/5*(180 - x) Multiply both sides by 5: 5*(90 - x) = 2*(180 - x) Simplify: 450 - 5x = 360 - 2x Add 5x to both sides: 450 = 360 + 3x Subtract 360 from both sides: 90 = 3x Divide both sides by 3: 30 = x Answer: 30 degrees.
If the complement of an angle is 6 degrees more than one fifth the angle then what is the angle?
complement: 90 - A A=angle 1/5 x (A) + 6 = (90 - A) 1/5 x A = 84 - A 1/5 x A + A = 84 6/5 x A = 84 6 A = 420 A = 70 degrees
What would a supplement that is 5 times the angle itself?
15 degrees
