Question

the measure of the complement of an angle is three times the measure of the angle. what is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Angle A is 22.5° and angle B is 67.5°

Explanation:

Take two angles:

Angle A and angle B

Let angle A be x°

So angle B will be 3x°

Complementary angles add up to 90°

So x° + 3x° = 90°

4x° = 90°

x° = 22.5°

3x° = 67.5°

So angle A is 22.5° and angle B is 67.5°
