two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 15° more than one-half of the measure of the other. Find the measure of each angle.​

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to know two definitions. Well, you only have to know one for this problem, but you should probably learn the 2nd just to be thorough.

Definition 1: Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.

Definition 2: Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180 degrees.

For this problem, we'll work with the definition that says two complementary angles have a sum of 90 degrees.

S, here are the facts from your problem: if one angle is 15 degree more than 2 times the other.find the measure of two angles.

Let's let the larger angle equal this: 15 + 2(x) (<--See how it is 15 degrees MORE than 2 times the other?)

Let's let the smaller angle equal: x

SO now our total equation is:

15 + 2(x) + x = 90

3x + 15 = 90 (combined like terms)

3x = 75 (subtracted 15 from both sides)

x = 25 (divided both sides by 3)

Now we know that one angle is 25. The other angle must add to 25 to make 90 degrees, so 90 - 25 = 65.

Therefore, your two angles are 25 and 65 degrees.

Does this check out? Let's see...

First: 25 + 65 = 90 Therefore, this checks out.

Second: The angle that is 65 degrees must be 15 degrees more than twice the other. So, let's take twice the other 25 * 2 = 50. And, let's add 1550 + 15 = 65. Therefore YES, the 2nd angle is 15 more than 2 times the angle that was 25 degrees.

I hope this is helpful. :-)
