Answer:
- complement: 32.8°
- supplement: 122.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of an angle A and its complement C is 90°:
A + C = 90°
C = 90° -A . . . . . subtract A from both sides.
That is, the complement of an angle is found by subtracting the angle from 90°.
__
The sum of an angle and its supplement is 180°. This means the supplement of an angle is found by subtracting the angle from 180°. You may notice the supplement is 90° more than the complement.
A + S = 180°
S = 180° -A = 90° +(90° -A)
__
For the given angle, the complement is ...
C = 90° -57.2° = 32.8°
And the supplement is ...
S = 180° -57.2° = 122.8°
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
We generally like angle measures to be positive (as with all measures in geometry). Hence, we might say that the complement of an angle greater than 90° does not exist. YMMV
69 - 3a = 0
69 - 3a (-69) = 0 (-69)
-3a = -69
-3a(/-3) = -69(/-3)
a = 23
hope this helps
