Question

An angle measures 4° more than the measure of a complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

A complementary angle to an angle A is 180-A.

The question says that we look for A where:

A = 4 + 180 - A

Solve for A:

2A = 184

A = 92

So the measure of angle A is 92, and the measure of a complementary angle is 180-92=88.

Answer 2

a complementary angle is 90 degrees, so, if the angle measures 4 more than a complimentary angle, it is 94 degrees.
