Angle F and angle G are complementary. Angle F measures (2x + 7)∘ and angle G measures 18∘. Find the value of x and the measure of each angle
complementary means they sum to 180
162 and 18
2x+7 = 162 solve for 'x'
Sorry guest, but you have it mixed up --- complementary is sum to 90 --- SUPPLEMENTARY is the term you are proposing to use.
Ooops complementary means they sum to 90
so 72 and 18
2x+7 = 72 solve for 'x'
ye ;)
thats right
Complementary means they sum to 90 degrees.
Thus F + G = 90.
Substituting the values in, we have:
2x + 7 + 18 = 90
2x + 25 = 90
2x = 65
x = 32.5
Angle F = 72 degrees
Angle G = 18 degrees
