complementary angles are those whose sum is 90 degrees.Use this two write a linear equation in one variable and solve.

ash2326 · Answer

Two angles are complimentary if their sum is 90 degrees

ash2326 · Answer

@bev199 try to create the equation

anonymous · Answer

A+b=90

ash2326 · Answer

you're right, now create the second equation

anonymous · Answer

3b+6=A

ash2326 · Answer

Yeah you're right. Now can you find A and B from both these equations

anonymous · Answer

So would it be 3(45)+6(45)=A

anonymous · Answer

no.i think you got it wrong.It is A + B=90.
now substitute A=3B+6 in the equation and solve to find A.

ash2326 · Answer

We have two equations
$$A+B=90$$
$$A=3B+6$$
Now substitute A from second to the first equation
$$3B+6+B=90$$
Find B from this and then find A:)
Can you do it now?
