Question

If x and y are 2 complementary angles then find the value of y if measure of angle x is 20 degree

Answer 1

Answer:

y=70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 angles are complimentary, they add up to 90 degrees.

x+y=90 degrees

x=20 degrees

y=90-20 degrees

y=70 degrees

If that is wrong, try this. Let's say the questions gives us the fact that x is 20 degrees greater than y.

y=x

Substituting x for y, the equation is x+x+20=90

Since y is x, x would also be y, which is 35. then x+20 would be 55.

So y would be 35.

THE ANSWER WOULD BE 70 DEGREES, BUT IF THAT IS WRONG, DO THE SECOND ONE, WHICH IS 35
