Step 1:
2x + x = 90
3x = 90
x = 30
Step 2:
2x = 2(30) = 60 degrees
x = 30 degrees
Therefore, the measures of the complementary angles are 30 degrees and 60 degrees.
Determine the measures of the complementary angles in the figure shown.
Remember that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
2x degrees and x degrees
Step 1: Set up an equation and solve for x
Step 2: Find the value of the angles.
