Question 8 • Q5 Geometry New 2022

3 times the measure of an angle is 14 less than the measure of its complement. What is the measure of the angle?

Answer
A
19°
B
57°
C
71°
D
76°

Explanation

Let the angle measure be x degrees, so its complement is 90 − x degrees. “Three times the angle is 14 less than its complement” gives 3x = (90 − x) − 14, so 4x = 76 and x = 19. The angle measures 19°, choice A.
