Question

(!!EXTRA POINTS!!)

The measure of an angle is two times the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees.

Angle one = x

Angle two = 2x

2x + x = 90 degrees

Combine like terms.

3x = 90 degrees.

Divide both sides by 3

x = 30

Angle one = x = 30 degrees

Angle two = 2x = 2(30) = 60 degrees.

Answer 2

30 and 60 degrees

Explanation:

30 and 60 are complementary angles. 60 is two times the measure of its complementary angle, or 30. 60+30=90.
