Question

Two angles are complementary angles if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees °. Angle A and angle B are complementary? angles, and angle A is 3 3 degrees ° more than twice angle B. Find the measures of angle A and angle B.

Answer 1

A: 71
B: 19

Explanation: Set up the equations A = 33 + 2B and A + B = 90. Substitute in A so you get 33 + 3B = 90. Do basic algebra to solve for B which is 19. Then use the equation A = 33 + 2B to find A using B, which is 71.
