Question

Two angles are complementary angles if the sum of their measures is 90 degress. If the measure of the larger of the two complementary angles is 15 degrees greater than two times the measure of the smaller angle, determine the measures of the two angles.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the measure of smaller angle be X

larger angle=2x+15°

given that , sum of the two angles=90

X+2x+15=90

3x=90-15

X=75/3

X=25°

Therefore the angles are 25°,65°.
