ANGLES 1


If x-250 and 4x + 550 are complementary angles, find the value of x.

Solution

Complementary angles add up to 900.

so,  x-250 + 4x + 550 = 900.
so,  x + 4x + 550 - 250 = 900.
so,  5x + 300 = 900.
so,  5x = 900 -  300
so,  5x = 600

so,  5x = 6012
       5       5

Hence x = 120

TRY THIS...............


If 3x - 580 and 2x + 530 are complementary angles, find the value of x.
