if one angle is twice the other and they are complementary, find the angles
30°, 60°
Complementary angles add up to 90°.
Let the smaller angle be \(x\). Then the other angle is \(2x\).
\(x + 2x = 90^\circ \Rightarrow 3x = 90^\circ \Rightarrow x = 30^\circ\)
The other angle \(= 2 \times 30^\circ = 60^\circ\).
Hence, the angles are 30° and 60°.
