assume that an angle B is an acute angle and sin(B-10degrees) =cos(11B-20degrees)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find angle B?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So if the sin is equal to the cosine the angles must be complementary.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

sin 30 = cosine 60 and so on.

i got 6as the answer.. is that crrect?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know what complementary means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they equal the same, correct?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It means if you add them you get 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, so i'm sorry, then would angle B=30?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[B-10+11B-20=90\] \[12B-30=90\] \[12B=120\] B=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah! got it. thank you~!!!!
