Problema Solution

one angle is twice the other angles.if these angles are complementary,find two angles

Answer provided by our tutors

two angles are complementary if they add up to 90 degrees


let the angles be x and y


one angle is twice the other angle


x = 2y


x and y are complementary


x + y = 90


by solving the system of equations


x = 2y

x + y = 90


we find


x = 60 degrees


y = 30 degrees
