Two complementary angles have a sum of 90 degrees.

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B30=90-x\"$
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=60\"$
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=30\"$
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the measure of the angle is 30 degrees, and it's complement is 60 degrees, which meets the given requirements.
