The sum of complimentary angles = 90 deg
they are in the ratio of 2:4.
2/6 * 90=
30 deg
4/6*90=
60 deg
The angles are 30 and 60 degrees

If the angles are in a ratio of 2:4, then they are also in a ratio of 1:2. In other words, one angle is twice the other. This means that . Solve this equation for 'x' to find '2x' (the larger angle)
