Answer: The measures of the angles are 64.6 degrees and 25.4 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
x can be one angle, and (x-39.2) can be the other
x + (x-39.2) = 90
2x - 39.2 = 90
add 39.2 to both sides
2x = 129.2
divide each side by 2
x = 64.6
find the measure of the other angle
64.6-39.2 = 25.4
The measures of the angles are 64.6 degrees and 25.4 degrees.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose two complementary angles of measures x And y then
x + y = 90 and y = x - 39.2
if we plug in x - 39.2 instead of y in the equation x + y = 90 we get :
x + (x - 39.2) = 90
then
2x = 90 + 39.2
then
2x = 129.2
then
x = 129.2/2 = 64.6
therefore
y = 64.6 - 39.2
= 25.4
