There are two complementary angles. The larger angle is 15 degrees more than twice the smaller angle. Find the measure of each angle.

Question

anonymous · Answer

Let the smaller angle be = x degrees
Then larger angle is 2x + 15 degrees

anonymous · Answer

Since they r complementary angles, theri sum must be 90 degrees
so x + (2x + 15) = 90

anonymous · Answer

Therefore 3x + 15 = 90
3x = 90 - 15
x = 75/3
x = 25

anonymous · Answer

Hence smaller angle is 25 degrees
The larger angle is 2 x 25 + 15 =65 degrees
