Angle x and angle y are complementary. Angle x is supplementary to a 128 degree angle. What are the measures of angle x and angle y

Respuesta :

The measurement of angle x is 52° and y is 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us define supplementary and complementary angles first.

Supplementary angles is pair of angles whose sum is 180°

While complementary angles sum up to 90°

Given

That x and y are complementary and x is supplementary to 128.

This means that sum of x and 128 is 180°

So,

[tex]x+128 = 180\\x = 180 - 128\\x = 52[/tex]

x = 52°

It is also given that x and y are complementary which means that

[tex]x+y=90\\52+y = 90\\y = 90-52\\y = 38[/tex]

Hence,

The measurement of angle x is 52° and y is 38°
