Answer:
Let x and 2x represent the measure of this angle and its complement
Question states*** Note: complementary angles have a sum = 90°
x + 2x = 90°
3x = 90°
x = 30° (and its complement would be 60°)
x = angle
Since a complement of angle x means that the complement plus the angle add up to 90 degrees, the expression of the complement would be 90 - x
"angle...is half of its own complement"
angle = 1%2F2(complement)
x+=+%281%2F2%29%2890+-+x%29
Distribute the one-half into the 90 and -x:
x+=+45+-+x%2F2
Multiply both sides by 2 to clear fraction: 2x+=+90+-+x
Add x to both sides: 3x+=+90
Divide both sides by 3: x+=+30
***THEREFORE, THE ANGLE THAT IS HALF OF ITS OWN
