Question

A and B are complementary angles. If m A = (4x + 24) and m
ZB = (3x – 4)º, then find the measure of B.

Answer 1

Answer: 26

Step-by-step explanation: Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees. So we use m<a+m<b=90 so let plug in

(4x+24)+ (3x-4)=90, then combine like with like.

7x+20=90

7x=70

x=10

Then let plug it in for angle B

(3(10)-4= 26

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 10°

∠B = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

complementary means they add up to 90 degrees.

4x + 24 + 3x - 4 = 90°

combine like terms:

7x + 20 = 90°

7x = 70°

x = 10°
