The sum of complementary angles is always 90 degrees. Given that one angle has a measure of 36 degrees, the other angle can be found using the equation:
36 + (x-3) = 90
x - 3 = 90 - 36
x - 3 = 54
x = 57
Therefore, the value of x is 57 degrees, and the measure of the unknown angle is:
x - 3 = 57 - 3 = 54 degrees
So, the unknown angle has a measure of 54 degrees.
In a figure one complementary angle has measure of 36 degree and the other has a measure of (x-3) degree what is the value of x and the value of the unknown angle measure?
