Complementary angles are two angles that have measures with a sum of 90°. Angles P and Q are complementary and the measure of an
gle P is 6° more than twice the measure of angle Q.
Write a system of equations and use substitution to find the measures of angles P and Q.
Input Field 1 of 1
1 answer:
Answer:
P = 62° Q = 28°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = measure of angle Q
then y = measure of angle P
Now x + y = 90 and 2x + 6 = y
Substituting 2x + 6 from the second equation in for y in the first equation, we get x + 2x + 6 = 90 since the two angles are complementary.
3x + 6 = 90
3x = 84
x = 28
y = 2(28) + 6 = 56 + 6 = 62
Check: 28 + 62 = 90
