Question

An angle measures 9.8° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

The measure of the angles would be 40.1 degrees and 49.9 degrees.

Explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees together.

90 - 9.8 = 80.2

80.2 / 2 = 40.1

Angle 1 = 40.1

Angle 2 = 40.1 + 9.8 = 49.9

Check:

40.1 + 49.9 = 90
