Answer: One angle is 27 degrees and the other is 63 degrees.

Explanation:

Use the equation:

x + x + 36 = 90

2x + 36 = 90

- 36 -36

-------------------------

2x = 54

/2 /2

---------------

x = 27

If x is 27, that is the measure of one angle.

Than 27 + 36 which is 63 is the measure of the other angle because this is 36 more than the previous angle.
