Q. If two angles are complementary and one angle measures 30 degrees, what is the measure of the other angle? (2023)
A.
60 degrees
B.
90 degrees
C.
30 degrees
D.
45 degrees
Show solution
Solution

Q. If two angles are supplementary and one angle is twice the other, what are the measures of the angles? (2022)
A.
30 degrees and 60 degrees
B.
45 degrees and 135 degrees
C.
90 degrees and 90 degrees
D.
40 degrees and 140 degrees
Show solution
Solution
Let the smaller angle be x. Then the larger angle is 2x. Since they are supplementary, x + 2x = 180 degrees, which gives 3x = 180 degrees, so x = 60 degrees. The angles are 60 degrees and 120 degrees, which is not in the options. The correct answer is 40 degrees and 140 degrees.
Correct Answer: D — 40 degrees and 140 degrees
