Two angles are complementary if their sum is 90 degrees.
So, we have the equation: (4x) + (2x) = 90
Combining like terms, we get: 6x = 90
Dividing both sides by 6, we find: x = 15
Thus, the two angle measures are: (4x)° = (4*15)° = 60° and (2x)° = (2*15)° = 30°
Two complementary angles have measures (4x)° and (2x)° . What is the value of x and the two angle measures?
