The difference of two complementary angles is 17 degrees. find the measures of the angles

The angle measures are 53.5° and 36.5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a systems of equations, assuming x and y are the angle measures.

Since the two angles are complementary, their angle measures will add up to 90.

x + y = 90

x - y = 17

We can now use the process of elimination, and end up with:

2x = 107

Dividing both sides by two gets us

x = 53.5

Substituting this value into an equation will get us y

53.5 + y = 90

y = 36.5

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
