Question Example
Step by Step
A
You can represent the measures of an angle and its complement as xºand (90-x)º.
Similarly, you can represent the measures of an angle and its supplement as x and
(180 - x )°. Use these expressions to find the measures of the angles described.
The measure of an angle increased by 68° is equal to the measure of its complement.
The measure of the angle is
and the measure of its complement is

The measure of the angle is 11 and its complement is 79 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, when two angles are complementary, the sum of the angles equal 90 degrees

so now, if the first angle is x , the second angle which is increased by 68 degrees will be x + 68

So now if we add these two, the value we will get is 90 degrees

Mathematically, we have this as;

x + x + 68 = 90

2x + 68 = 90

2x = 90-68

2x = 22

x = 22/2

x = 11

the measure of the angle is 11 and its complement will be 11 + 68 = 79

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
