Question

Two angles are complementary. If the measure of one angle is twice the measure of the other angle, what is the measure of the larger angle?

Answer 1

70 is the answer choise I picked it and got it correct

Explanation:

Answer 2

two angles are complementary: x + y = 90 (complementary = 90 degrees)
x = 2y

plug in 2y for x

2y + y = 90
3y = 90
3y/3 = 90/3
y = 30

plug in 30 for y
x = 2y
x = 2(30)
x = 60

x (the largest angle) = 60°


hope this helps
