Geometry: B complement of A, B 1/6 of C, C supp of A

[Millerkee]

How do you find the measure of the angles? the problem is:

The measure of angle B, the complement of angle A, is one-sixth the measure of angle C, the supplement of angle A.

I think the formula you create is something like X+X+1/6X = 90! Not sure

Re: Geometry

The measure of angle B, the complement of angle A

A + B = 90

The measure of angle B, ... , is one-sixth the measure of angle C

B = C/6

the measure of angle C, the supplement of angle A

A + C = 180

you have three equations with three unknowns ... solve for A, B,and C.
