Question

Angle A and Angle B are complementary angles. If angle B is five degrees more than four times angle A, find the measure of each angle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Angle A = 17°, Angle B = 73°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle A & Angle B are complementary angles (given) so they will form 90°.

Let's take,

Angle A = x

Angle B = 4x +5 (angle B is five degrees more than four times angle A)

Measure of each angle=?

Angle A + Angle B = 90°

x + 4x + 5 = 90

5x + 5 = 90

5x = 90 - 5

5x = 85

x = 85 ÷ 5

x = 17°

Angle A = x = 17°

Angle B = 4x + 5 = 4(17) + 5 = 68 + 5 = 73°
