Question

Two complementary angles have measures of s and t. if t is less than twice s, which system of linear equations can be used to determine the measure of each angle? Please explain answer. I know s+t=90. But how do you get to t=2s-90

Answer 1

The required expressions are both equations 1 and 2 as shown:

$s + t = 90 ......... 1$

$t$ .... 2

Complementary angles are angles that sum up to 90 degrees. For instance, and A and B are complementary if A + B = 90.

According to the question, if two complementary angles have measures of s and t then:

$s + t = 90 ......... 1$

Twice of 's' is expressed as $2s$

If t is less than twice s, this can be expressed as $t$ .... 2

The required expressions are both equations 1 and 2 as shown:

$s + t = 90 ......... 1$

$t$ .... 2
