in a figure one complementary angle has a measure of 36 degrees and the other has a measure of (x-3). what is the value of x and the value of the unknown angle measure

Answer 1

The sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees.

Given that one angle has a measure of 36 degrees, the other angle has a measure of (90 - 36) = 54 degrees.

We are also given that the other angle has a measure of (x - 3) degrees. So, we have the equation:

x - 3 = 54

Solving for x gives:

x = 57

Therefore, the value of x is 57 and the measure of the unknown angle is 54 degrees.
