Question

Use an algebraic equation to find the measures of the two angles described below. Begin by letting x represent the degree measure of the angle's complement
The measure of the angle is 32 degrees greater than its complement.
What is the measure of the complement?
x=
​

Answer 1

Answer:  29°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of complimentary angles is 90°

Let x represent the unknown angle, then the given angle is 32 + x

x + (32 + x) = 90°

    2x + 32 = 90°

    2x         = 58°

      x         = 29°
