Question 488772: an angle's measure is twice the measure of its complement. the larger angle is how many degrees greater than the smaller angle?

x + 2x = 90,
3x = 90,
x = 30 degrees. This is the smaller angle.
2x = 60 degrees, this is the larger angle.
The larger angle is 30 degrees larger than the smaller angle.
