An angle measures 10° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Let the angle be x.  The complement of this angle would then be 90-x.

We are told that x is 10 more than 90-x, or       x is 90-x+10, or x= 100 - x.

If x = 100 - x, then 2x = 100, and x = 50.

Check:  If one angle is 50 degrees, the complement is 90-50, or 40 degrees.

Are 50 and 40 complementary?  Yes.  They add up to 90.  Is 50 10 more than 40?  Yes.

The measurements of these two angles are 40 and 50 degrees.

The two angles are 85 and 95 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180

Let x be one angle

The supplement is 10 less,  ( x-10)

They add to 180

x+ ( x-10) = 180

2x -10 = 180

Add 10 to each side

2x-10+10 =180-10

2x= 190

Divide by 2

2x/2 =190/2

x=95

The other angle is 95-10 = 85

The two angles are 85 and 95 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
