Question

If two angles are complementary, find the measure of each of angle.

Answer 1

B: 30 and 60

Explanation:

First, let's set up an equation. Since the two angles are complementary, we can write the equation like this:

2p + p = 90

Now, let's solve it!

2p + p = 90

Combine like terms:

3p = 90

Divide each side by 3 to isolate p:

3p/3 = 90/3

p = 30

Now that we know how many degrees one of our angles is, we can subtract that from 90 to get both of the complementary angles.

90 - 30 = 60

Therefore, the two angles that are complementary in this case are 30 and 60 degrees.
