Question

An angle measures 14° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Answer:

38 and 52

Step-by-step explanation:

x = small angle

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

x + x+14 = 90

2x = 76

x= 38

90-38 = 52

52-14 = 38

38 +52 = 90

Answer 2

(180-14):2= 166:2= 83° (smaller angle)
(180-14):2+14= 166:2+14= 83+14= 97° (bigger angle)
