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.
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.
