The angles represented by the expressions (2x+46) and (3x-6) are complementary angles. find the measure of the larger angle. Im really confused. Could someone help.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2× +46 + 3×-6 =90

sx+40=90

5X=90-40

x=50/5

X=10

frist angle= 2×10+46= 66

secnd angle= 90- 66 = 2 4

The measure of larger angle is 66

we have given that two complementary angles expression

[tex]A=(2x+46) and\\ B= (3x-6)[/tex]

When two angle are complementary ?

Two angles are called complementary when their measures add to 90 degrees.

That is suppose A and B are complimentary then

A+B=90

Therefore we have given expression of complementary angle  is

[tex](2x+46) + (3x-6)=90\\\\5x+40=90\\\\5x=90-40\\\\5x=50\\\\x=\frac{50}{10}\\\\x=10[/tex]

Therefore

angle A,

[tex]A=2(10)+46\\\\A=20+46\\\\\\A=66[/tex]

and angle B is,

[tex]B=3(10)-6\\B=30-6\\B=24[/tex]

Therefore we get the measure of larger angle is 66
