Two complementary angles have measures (2x)° and (3x)° . What is the value of x and the two angle measures?(2 points)

1 answer

To find the value of x, we can set up an equation:

(2x) + (3x) = 90° (complementary angles add up to 90°)

5x = 90

x = 18

Therefore, the two complementary angles have measures:

2x = 2(18) = 36°
3x = 3(18) = 54°

So, the two angles are 36° and 54°.
