the angles complementary and the smaller angle is 40 degrees less than measure of the larger

5 answers

complementary angles add up to 90°
so if the smaller is x
then the other angle is 90-x

x = 90-x - 40
2x = 50
x = 25

so smaller is 25° and the larger is 90-25 = 64°

check: is 25 less than 65 by 40 ? YEAHHHH!
the angle are complementary and the larger is four times the smaller
Let take large angle = x
Smaller angle = (x - 40°)
Given that angles are complementary
So,
> X+(x-40)°=90°
> 2x-40°=90°
> 2x=130°
> x=65°
Greater angle x=65°
Smaller angle (x-40)°=25°
