Q. $1 and 2 are complementarg. If m∠1=7x+16 and m∠2=4x−5 then find measure of ∠2.
Write Equation: Angles 1 and 2 are complementary, so their measures add up to 90 degrees.Write the equation: (7x+16)+(4x−5)=90.
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms: 7x+4x+16−5=90. This simplifies to: 11x+11=90.
Isolate Variable Term: Subtract 11 from both sides to isolate the variable term: 11x=79.
Solve for x: Divide both sides by 11 to solve for x: x=1179.Calculate x: x=7.18181818… (This looks a bit off, let's double-check the math in the previous step).
