Question

One angle measures 27° more than 2 times another. If the two angles are complementary, find the measures of the angles.

A. 21°; 69°
B. 26°; 64°
C. 31°; 59°
D. 23°; 67°

Answer 1

A. 21°, 69°

Explanation:

If you work by process of elimination all you have to do is take 27 away from the bigger degree of the two and see if it is 2x as much as the smaller degree.

Ex.

1. 69°-27°= 42°, which is 2x as many as 21°.
