An angle is equal to one-third of its complement. Find the angle's measure.

artcher [175]

Let $x^\circ$ be the measure of the angle in question. Its complement has measure $(90-x)^\circ$ . We're told that this angle is congruent to 1/3 of its complement, so that

$x^\circ=\dfrac{(90-x)^\circ}3\implies3x^\circ=(90-x)^\circ\implies4x^\circ=90^\circ\implies x=22.5^\circ$

What does it mean when a question number is circled in a textbook

RoseWind [281]

This is only my opinion. I could be wrong.

My guess is:

Somebody else used that book before you, maybe last year or
the year before, and it was somebody who didn't mind writing
in his book.

One day he didn't have time to write down the homework in his
assignment notebook, so he just circled the homework problems
in his textbook.
