Answer 1

what is it a quadrilateral or triangle ?

Answer 2

dont know

Answer 3

what do you mean ? The data is not complete ?

anyways before you seek help , first tell me wht is a complimentary angle, based on your answer I will guide you forward

Answer 4

thats all the questions asks. it does not give me more information =/ im assuming triangle?

Answer 5

good, so lets say its a triangle, then the sum of complimentary angles is 90

Answer 6

but then the third angle has to be 90

Answer 7

so now say that one of the angles is x
then the other angle is 2x Because it is twice the other
so x+2x+90=180
sovle for x

Answer 8

you shall have your answer

Answer 9

does that help ?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

now can you tell me the answer? want to see if you get the problem

Answer 12

what happens if the problem was a quadrilateral

Answer 13

th answer would be 90 right?

Answer 14

since a triangle equals 180

Answer 15

sorry , but the answer is 60
x+2x+90=180

Answer 16

Oh brain fart!!! I knew that LOL

Answer 17

:)

Answer 18

3x=90, solving we get x=30, and the larger angles of the two is 2x = 2*30= 60

Answer 19

how many sides does a quadrilateral have ?

Answer 20

4

Answer 21

good, and what is the sum of all angles?

Answer 22

360?

Answer 23

great

Answer 24

now lets say two angles are complimentary , i.e they add up to 90,

Answer 25

meaning the other two add up to 270

Answer 26

makes sense. 90+90+90+90

Answer 27

nope not true,!

Answer 28

oh. lol yea thats not 360

Answer 29

x+2x+a+b=360

Answer 30

and we have no information about relation between a and b

Answer 31

Dang, thank you so much lol. I'm finally understanding!

Answer 32

Can you help me with another problem by chance?
