Answer: angle CTM-60 and angle MTY=30

Explanation:

If two angles are complementary that means added together they are 90.

We can make this equation to solve for p: 2p+p=90

Now we can solve


2p+p=90\\3p=90\\(3p)/(3) =(90)/(3)\\p=30

now that we know p is 30 we can sub it in to find the measure of CTM

2(30)

60

Answer:

∠CTM = 60

∠MTY = 30

Explanation:

Complementary means adds to 90°

2p + p = 90

3p = 90

p=30

2p = 60
