Solution:Since angles are complementary, then their sum is 90 degree.
Since their measurements behave as consecutive integers, let first angel
x degree, second 2x degree and third 3x degree. Now we write the equation:
x+2x+3x=90 => 6x=90 => x=15.
Answer:The first angle is 15 degree, the second 2X15=30 degree and the third, 3X15=45 degree.
