write an equation and solve the problem.find the measure of an angle that is half as large as its complement
.
Let x = the angle
then its complement is
90-x = complement
.
From: "an angle that is half as large as its complement" we get our equation:
x = (1/2)(90-x)
2x = 90 - x
3x = 90
x = 30 degrees
