the measure of one complementary angle is six less then three times the measure of the second angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Question

the measure of one complementary angle is six less then three times the measure of the second angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Let x = the measure of the second angle

Let 3x-6 = the measure of the first angle

x + 3x - 6 = 90

4x = 95=6

x = 24°

3x - 6 = 3(24) - 6 = 72 - 6

larger angle = 66º
