Question 904069: One of two complementary angles added to one half the other yields 72 degrees. What is half the measure of the larger Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x the 'other'
(90°-x) + x/2 = 72°
90° - x/2 = 72°
18° = x/2
36° = x
and..checking
54° + 18° = 72°
or
54° + 36° = 90°
half the measure of the larger is 27°
