Question

An angle 'x' is 14${}^{\circ }$ more than its complement. The angle x would be 52${}^{\circ }$.

• A. 52°
• B. 50°

Answer 1

The correct option is A

52°

The sum of two complementary angles is 90${}^{\circ }$

So, x - (90${}^{\circ }$ - x) = 14${}^{\circ }$

⇒ 2x = 104${}^{\circ }$

⇒ x = 52${}^{\circ }$
