Question
Two complementary angles are such that twice the measure of the one is equal to three times the measure of the other. The larger of the two measures.

Answer

  1. 54º
    Solution:
    Let the measure of the required angle be xº
    Then, the measure of its complement will be (90 - x)º
    Therefore, 2x = 3 (90 - x)
    ⇒ 2x = 270 - 3x
    ⇒ 5x = 270
    ⇒ x = 54º.
