HELP FOR BRAINLIEST! two angles are complementary. two times the measure of one is equal to 40% of the measure of the other. find the measure of both angles.

Respuesta :

Answer:

15° , 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

If two angles are complementary, then they add up to 90°.

Let one angle = x

So, its complementary angle = 90 - x

 Two times of one angle = 40% of other angle

                                   2x   = 40% * (90 - x)

                                     2x = 0.4 * (90 - x)

                                      2x = 0.4*90 - 0.4*x

                                      2x = 36 - 0.4x

Add 0.4x to both sides,

          2x + 0.4x = 36          {addition property of equality}

             2.4x    = 36

Divide both sides by 2.4,

                    [tex]\sf x = \dfrac{36}{2.4}\\\\\\ x = 15[/tex]

        x = 15°

90 - x = 90 - 15

           = 75°

Measure of the angles are 15° , 75°
