Question

m∠RSU = (7x + 3)° and m∠UST = (11x − 21)°. If ∠RSU and ∠UST are complementary, what is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠RSU + m∠UST = 90° (as complementary angles)

(7x + 3)° + (11x − 21)° =90°

18x -18° = 90°

18x = 108°

x = 6

so, m∠RSU = (7x + 3)° = 7(6)+3 = 45°

and m∠UST = (11x − 21)° = 11(6) -21 = 45°

Answer 2

The required measures of the angles ∠RSU and ∠UST are 31° and 23° respectively.

What is the angle?

The angle can be defined as the one line inclined over another line. Also the angles are measured in radian or degrees.

The sum of the complementary angles is 90.
So,
∠RSU + ∠UST = 90
7x +3 + 11x - 21 = 90
18x - 18 = 90
18 (x - 1) = 90
x - 1 = 90 / 18
x - 1 = 5
x = 4

Required measures of the angles,|

1) m∠RSU = (7x + 3)°
m∠RSU = (7 * 4+ 3)°|

m∠RSU = 31°

2)  m∠UST = (11x − 21)°.
    m∠UST = (11 * 4 − 21)°
    m∠UST = (44 − 21)°
     m∠UST =  23°

Thus, the required measures of the angles ∠RSU and ∠UST are 31° and 23° respectively.
