Math Problem Statement
If the two angles are complementary, find the measure of each of angle.
A. 140 and 40 B. 35 and 10 C. 70 and 20 D. 36 and 126
Solution
To find the measures of the angles, we need to use the fact that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
Given angles are and .
The equation for complementary angles is:
Solving for :
Now, substitute back into the expressions for the angles:
So, the measures of the angles are and .
The correct answer is:
C. 70 and 20
