Two angles are complementary. One angle is ten less than four times the other angle. Find the measure of the larger angle

Answer:

B.70

Step-by-step explanation:

For one or two angles are complementary angle(s), they have to equal 90°.

So, we need to find the larger angle, but what about the other?

Let x be the other angle and y be the angle we are looking for

x + y = 90

Lets look for x first, since one angle is ten less than four times the angle we are looking for or visa versa, we must:

y = 4x - 10

For an exchange, lets take out the y variable for another x variable:

So now we should have x + 4x - 10 = 90

Combine like terms and do cross equation :

x + 4x -10 = 90

5x - 10 = 90

Add 10 to both sides:

5x = 100

100/5 = 20

So <u><em>x=20</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Now for y which is what we are looking for,

y = 4x - 10

Since x is 20, plug it in

y = 80 - 10

y=70 is our larger angle

Divide the actual building's measurements by the replica's measurements.

\frac{400}{20}=20\\\\\frac{320}{16}=20

The measurements of the actual building are divided by 20 not 12.

Find the value of x in the below complementary angle 3x(5x+2)​
Natali [406]

Answer:

The value of x is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°</em>

Let us use this rule to solve our question

∵ The angle of measure (3x)° and the angle of measure (5x + 2)°

   are complementary angles

→ That means their sum equals 90°

∴ 3x + 5x + 2 = 90

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (3x + 5x) + 2 = 90

∴ 8x + 2 = 90

→ Subtract 2 from both sides to move 2 from the left side to the right side

∵ 8x + 2 - 2 = 90 - 2

∴ 8x = 88

→ Divide both sides by 8 to find x

∵ 8x/8 = 88/8

∴ x = 11

∴ The value of x is 11
