Two angles are complementary. The sum of the measure of the first angle and half the second angle is 73.5. Find the measures of the angles.
let one angle be x
other angle = 90-x
..
x+1/2*(90-x)= 73.5
multiply by 2
2x+(90-x)= 147
2x-x+90=147
x=147-90
x=57
other angle = 33
..
What is the measure of the smaller angle?
33

What is the measure of the other angle?
57
