Question

the measure of the angle is 88 degrees greater than its complement. what is the measure of the complement?

Answer 1

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
