Two angles are complementary, and one is twice as large as the other one.c What is the measure of each angle?
\n" ); document.write( "let x= one angle let y= one angle
\n" ); document.write( "Would my equations be:
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=90
\n" ); document.write( "2x=y
\n" ); document.write( "This is right, now replace y with 2x in the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x = 90/3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "then obviously
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2(30)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 60 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Are they complementary? 30 + 60 = 90 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
