Question

Two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is twice the measure of the other angle. What is the measure of the smaller of the two angles ?

Answer 1

Answer:

SMALL ANGLE...30-degrees

LARGE ANGLE...60-degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

SMALL ANGLE...x

LARGE ANGLE...2x

Complementary angles total 90-degrees.

x+2x=90

3x=90

Let's divide both sides by 3...

(3x)/3=90/3

x=30

2x=60
