Question

Two adjacent angles form a complementary relationship. One angle is twelve more than twice the other angle. Draw a picture to represent the situation. Then solve for each unknown angle measure.

Answer 1

Answer:

The angles are 26 and 64

Step-by-step explanation:

When two angles are complementary, what this means is that the add up to 90 degrees

Now, let’s say one of the angles is x, the other angle is 12 more than twice it; mathematically that would be 2x + 12

Since they add up to be 90, we have

x + 2x + 12 = 90

3x + 12 = 90

3x = 90-12

3x = 78

x = 78/3

x = 26

The other angle is 2x + 12 = 2(26) + 12 = 52 + 12 = 64
