Question 187795
.
The sum of two complementary angles equals 90 degrees.
.
Let x = measure of one of two complementary angles
then
2x+36 = measure of second angle
.
x + 2x+36 = 90
3x+36 = 90
3x = 54
x = 18 degrees
.
second angle:
2x+36 = 2(18)+36 = 36+36 = 72 degrees
.
The two angles are:
18 degrees and 72 degrees
