Let mAngleA = 40°. If AngleB is a complement of AngleA, and AngleC is a supplement of AngleB, find these measures.

mAngleB =
°

mAngleC =

Respuesta :

Answer:

mAngleB= 50

mAngleC= 130

Explanation:

Complementary angles = 90

So If angle A is 40 subtract that to 90 to find angle B which is 50

and 50+40= 90 = Complementary

Supplementary angles = 180

So if angle C is supplementary to angle B you would need to subtract 50 from 180 to find angle C which is 130

130+20= 180 = supplementary  

The measure of [tex]\angle B[/tex] is [tex]50^o[/tex] while that of [tex]\angle C[/tex] is [tex]130^o[/tex].

Given that:

[tex]\angle A=40^o[/tex]

To find:

[tex]\angle B[/tex] and [tex]\angle C[/tex]

Since, [tex]\angle B[/tex] is the complement of [tex]\angle A[/tex], which is equal to [tex]90^o[/tex].

Equation for complementary angle becomes:

[tex]\angle A+\angle B=90^o[/tex]

Put the value in above equation:

[tex]\angle B=90^o-40^o\\\\\angle B=50^o[/tex]

Also, [tex]\angle C[/tex] is the supplement of [tex]\angle B[/tex], which is equal to [tex]180^o[/tex].

Equation for supplementary angle becomes:

[tex]\angle B+\angle C=180^o[/tex]

Put the value in above equation:

[tex]\angle C=180^o-50^o\\\\\angle C=130^o[/tex]

So, [tex]\angle B[/tex] is equal to [tex]50^o[/tex] and [tex]\angle C[/tex] is equal to [tex]130^o[/tex].
