Question

C and d are complementary. The measure of c is 4x and the measure of d is 26. What is the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 16.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

c and d are complementary angles.

Measure of c = $4x$

Measure of d = 26

Since c and d are complementary, we can write from property of complementary:

$c + d = 90$

Putting values, we get,

$4x + 26 =90\\4x = 90-26 = 64\\\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{64}{4} = 16$

Thus, value of x is 16.
