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