To conclude: The given statement that the measure of an acute
Answer to Problem 35WE
The statement is true for all acute angles
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The measure of a complement of an angle is exactly halt the measure of a supplement of the angle
Suppose that the measure of the angle be
Then the measure of its supplement is
Then the measure of its complement is
The measure of an acute angle is equal to the difference between the measure of a supplement of the angle and twice the measure of a complement of the angle.
Simplifying this gives
This implies that the statement "The measure of the acute angle is equal to the difference of the measure of the supplement of the angle and twice the measure of a complement of the angle", is true for all possible values of the acute angle
Thus, the statement is true for all acute angles
