To find the value of x, we can set up an equation based on the fact that the sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees.
(2x)° + (3x)° = 90°
Combine like terms:
5x° = 90°
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 18°
So, the value of x is 18 degrees.
To find the angle measures, we can substitute this value back into the expressions for the angles:
(2x)° = (2 * 18)° = 36°
(3x)° = (3 * 18)° = 54°
So, the two angle measures are 36° and 54°.
two complementary angles have measures (2x)° and (3x)°. What is the value of x and the two angle measures?
x = __ , (2x)° = __° and x = __ , (3x) = __°
