Sum of two angles that are complementary = 90°

Let the smaller angle be x .

Then the larger angle = 2x

Let us make an equation to find the measure of both the angles :-

[tex]2x + x = 90[/tex]

[tex]3x = 90[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{90}{3} [/tex]

[tex]x = 30[/tex]

Which means :-

Measure of the small angle = 30°

Measure of the larger angle = 2 × 30 = 60°

Therefore , the measure of the bigger angle is 60° .
