Determine the measure of the complementary angles in the figure shown remember that complementary angles add up to 90° number one set up the equation and solve for X number two find the value of the angles 2 X degrees and then X degrees
1) Since the angles are complementary, we have the equation:
2X + X = 90
3X = 90
X = 30
2) The angles are:
2X = 2(30) = 60 degrees
X = 30 degrees
