Two complementary angles have measured 2X and 3X what is the value of X and the two angles measure

Answer 1

Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees.

Let's call the first angle 2X and the second angle 3X.

Since they are complementary, we know that:

2X + 3X = 90

Combining like terms, we get:

5X = 90

To solve for X, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:

X = 90/5

X = 18

Now that we know the value of X, we can find the two angles:

First angle = 2X = 2*18 = 36 degrees

Second angle = 3X = 3*18 = 54 degrees

So, the value of X is 18, and the two angles measure 36 degrees and 54 degrees.
