Answer:
one angle is 20° and the other is 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles add up to 90°.
Here it is given that an angle exceeds 3 times its complement by 10. So, we are taking the complement as x. Since it exceeds its complement 3 times, we are multiplying the complement 3 times. so we get .
Now we also need to add 10, so we get the final equation , which is the second angle.
As of now, first angle = x and second angle = 3x+10.
Since they are complementary angles, both angles add up to 90°
⇒ 1st angle + 2nd angle = 90°
∴ [since 3x and x are like expressions, we should add 3x + x = 4x]
⇒ [by transposing 10 from LHS to RHS]
⇒
⇒ [by transposing 4 from LHS to RHS]
⇒
<em>∴The complementary angle is </em><em>20°</em><em> and the given angle is [(3 × 20) + 10)] = </em><em>70°</em>
