Question

Find the measurement of both complementary angles, if One is 30° greater than the other one.

Answer 1

30 and 60

Explanation:

Let x be one angle

x+30 is the other angle

Complementary angles add to 90

x+ x+30 = 90

2x+30 = 90

Subtract 30 from each side

2x=90-30

2x= 60

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 60/2

x = 30

The angles are 30 and 30+30 = 60

Answer 2

30° and 60°

Explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

x + (x + 30) = 90

Step 2: Solve for x

2x + 30 = 90

2x = 60

x = 30

Step 3: Find other angle

90 - 30 = 60
