Let the angle be x and it's complement be c.
Then, x = c + 88 and x + c = 90
Substitute the first equation in the second.
(c+88) + c = 90
2c+88 = 90
2c = 2
c =1
Compliment = 1
Angle = 89
Answer:
x=12, y=30
Step-by-step explanation:
to find x:
in a equilateral triangle, all three sides are congruent, so:
4x-4=3x+8
x-4=8
x=12
to find y:
in an equilateral triangle, all the angles are 60°, so:
2y=60
y=30°
