Question

1 and 2 are complementary angles. The measure of 1 is 54. The measure of 2 is 2x. Find the value of x. The figure is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

We know that;
54 + 2x = 90 degrees (since it’s a right angle)

So using this equation, we solve for x;

54 + 2x = 90
2x = 90 - 54
2x = 36
x = 36 / 2
x = 18
