Problema Solution

One of 2 complimentary angles is 4 degrees more than the other. Find the angles.

Answer provided by our tutors

 

x and y complementary angles so X+Y=90

 

X=Y+2      and X+Y=90   <=> Y+2 + Y =90     <=> 2Y = 90-2    <=> Y = 88/2 = 44

 

X= 44+ 2 =46

 

So the angles ares 46 and 44
