Question 725546: The sum of an angle and it complement is always 90 degrees. if an angle twice the size of its complement, find the size of each angle
Am bad with geometric problems if you could explain what to do it would help.

Assume the angle is x.
x = 2(90 - x)
3x = 180 => x = 60
The complement is therefore 30 degrees.
