Q. 65.0( 2 Votes )
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
A. 72°
B. 54°
C. 63°
D. 36°
Answer :
As we know that sum of two complementary – angles is 90o.
So, x + y = 90o
Let x be the common multiple.
According to question angles would be 2x and 3x.
2x + 3x= 90
5x = 90o
x = 18o
2x = 36o
3x = 54o
So, larger angle is 54o
