Question

Two angles are complementary. One angle is 

16°

 less than the other angle. Find the measures of the angles.

Progress: 0/2

Part 1 of 2

The smaller angle is

°

Answer 1

A=B-16

A+B=90

A-B=-16

add

2A = 74

A=74/2 = 37

one angle is 37 degrees

the other is 37+16 = 53 degrees

53+37=90

complementary angles sum to 90
