Answer:

To answer this question, you need to know how 1 inch compares to 1 foot, and in order to do that you need to convert these values to the same unit of measurement. You could convert them both to feet or to inches. Let's do inches since converting them both to feet would make the measurement of 1 inch a fraction (1/12 of a foot).

There are 12 inches in one foot, so your comparison is:

1 inch - 12 inches

This means that every foot you see in the object you are drawing can be represented on paper by a measurement of 1 inch.

If, for example a window measures 3 feet across, my drawing would be scaled down in my drawing in which my window measures 3 inches wide.

This keeps what you draw proportional to what you see.

An angle measures 40.2° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

<h3>Solving for the measurements of Complementary Angles</h3><h3>Answer:</h3>

$24.9^{\circ}$ and $65.1^{\circ}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Recall that Angles that are complementary to each other add up to $90^{\circ}$ .

Let $a$ be the measure of the complementary angle.

If an angle is $40.2^{\circ}$ more than its complementary angle, the measure of that angle is $a +40.2$ . The sum of both angles are expressed $a +(a +40.2)$ but since the have to add to $90$ as they are complementary, $a +(a +40.2) = 90$ .
