Let the first angle be x. Then the second angle can be represented by (90-x)+58. We then have
x = (90-x)+58. Simplifying, x = 90 - x + 58
Then 2x = 90+58, or 2x = 148, or x = 74 degrees.
The first angle is 74 deg. I am assuming that we find the complement of this 74 and then add 58 deg. Unfortunately, that results in 74 deg. Seems like we're going around in circles.
Please reread the original problem statement. To me, it's vague where it mentions "the measure of a complementary angle." I assumed that it really meant "the measure of the complement to "an angle," i. e., "the measure of the complement of 74 deg."
Could someone else shed light on this problem's wording and solution?
The dimensions would be: Length=36 and Width=32. I solved this by just using multiples of the numbers in the ratio. 9x4=36 and 8x4=32, so the ratio can still simplified to 9:8. P=2xL+2xW, so (2x36)+(2x32)=136.
L=36ft. and W=32ft.
