A figure shows 2 non adjacent angles with measures, 2X plus 3 and 2X. If the angles are complimentary what is the equation for the angle measures
Since the angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees. Therefore, you can write the equation:
2X + 3 + 2X = 90
Simplifying the equation:
4X + 3 = 90
Now, solve for X:
4X = 87
X = 21.75
Therefore, the equation for the angle measures is:
2X + 3 = 2(21.75) + 3 = 45.5
2X = 2(21.75) = 43.5
