Question

The measures of two complementary angles have a ratio of 2:3. What is the measure of the larger angle?

The measure of the larger angle is
°.

Answer 1

Explanation:

complementary angles add up to 90

x +2/3x = 90

5/3x = 90

5x = 270

x = 54

the other angle is 36

double checking

54 * 2 ÷ 3 = 36
