A figure shows two nonadjacent angles with measures (2x+3)° and 2x° . If the angles are complementary, what is the equation for the angle measures?(1 point)
(__)° + 2x° = __°
Let's set up the equation for the complementary angles:
(2x+3)° + 2x° = 90°
Simplifying the equation:
4x + 3° = 90°
Now we can subtract 3° from both sides:
4x = 87°
Finally, divide both sides by 4:
x = 21.75°
So the equation for the angle measures is:
(2(21.75°)+3°)° + 2(21.75°)° = 90°
(44.5°+3°)° + 43.5° = 90°
47.5° + 43.5° = 90°
(47.5° + 43.5°)° = 90°
put your answer in these __
(47.5° + 43.5°)° = __°
it needs to be complementary or 90°
Apologies for the confusion. The correct equation for the angle measures, considering them as complementary, is:
(2x + 3)° + 2x° = 90°
So, the equation is:
(2x + 3)° + 2x° = 90°
still needs to be within the original question
I apologize for the confusion again. Given the original question, the correct equation for the angle measures, considering them as complementary, is:
(2x + 3)° + 2x° = 90°
So, the equation is:
(2x + 3)° + 2x° = 90°
i hope this is right
The equation is indeed correct:
(2x + 3)° + 2x° = 90°
