An angle measures 54° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that If two angles are complementary, then their sum is equal to 90 degrees

Letx -----> the measure of an angle

 y-----> the measure of he other angle

we know thatx+y=90 -----> y=90

-x -----> equation

Ax=y+54 ----> equation

Bsubstitute equation B in equation A and solve for yy=90-(y+54)

y=90-y-542y=36y=18°

Find the value of xx=y+54 -----> x=18+54=72°

thereforeThe measure of the angles are 72 degrees and 18 degrees

           An angle measures 54º more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

[tex]\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}}[/tex]

Angle Measurements:- 63º and 117º

[tex]\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{How\:to\:Solve:-}}}}[/tex]

                        Supplementary angles add up to 180º.

Now, let the unknown angle be n.

Set up an equation:-

[tex]\bigstar[/tex] [tex]\textsf{n+n+54=180}[/tex] (remember, supplementary angles add up to 180)

Add the n's :

[tex]\textsf{2n+54=180}[/tex]

Subtract 54 on both sides:

[tex]\textsf{2n=126}[/tex]

Divide by 2 on both sides:

[tex]\textsf{n=63\textdegree}[/tex]

Now, add 54 to find the other angle:

63+54=117

Check:-

We can easily check our work by adding the two angles together and seeing whether or not we end up with 180º.

[tex]\textsf{63+117=180}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{180=180}\LARGE\checkmark[/tex]

LHS=RHS (Left-Hand Side = Right-Hand Side)

Hence, the angles are 63 and 117.  [tex]\checkmark[/tex]

Good luck.
