Two complementary angles have measures of s and t. if t is less than twice s, which system of linear equations can be used to determine the measure of each angle? Please explain answer. I know s+t=90. But how do you get to t=2s-90

The required expressions are both equations 1 and 2 as shown:

.... 2

Complementary angles are angles that sum up to 90 degrees. For instance, and A and B are complementary if A + B = 90.

According to the question, if two complementary angles have measures of s and t then:

Twice of 's' is expressed as

If t is less than twice s, this can be expressed as .... 2

The required expressions are both equations 1 and 2 as shown:

.... 2

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2

∞ this is your sign
