2 complimentary angles have a measure of 4X and 2X. What is the value of x and the two angle measurement

Answer 1

To find the value of x and the two angle measurements, we can set up an equation based on the fact that the angle measurements are complimentary, meaning they add up to 90 degrees.

4X + 2X = 90

Now, we can combine like terms:

6X = 90

To isolate X, we divide both sides of the equation by 6:

X = 90 / 6
X = 15

Now that we know X is 15, we can substitute it back into the equations to find the angle measurements:

4X = 4 * 15 = 60

2X = 2 * 15 = 30

Therefore, the value of X is 15, and the two angle measurements are 60 degrees and 30 degrees.
