Terry Irwin · Answer 1

complementary angles = 90

x = one angle

y other angle

y = 3x

x+y = 90

x+3x = 90

4x=90

divide by 4

x = 22.5

y = 67.5

Hi there!

Solution:

Both complementary angles equal a total of 90.

b = angle 1

c = angle 2

90 / 4 = 22.5

22.5 x 3 = 67.5

67.5 + 22.5 = 90

Answer:

b = 67.5

c = 22.5
