if we add twice the angle complement of 48 degrees , we get the angle complement . what is the size of angle

Let the unknown angle be \( x \).

We know that the complement of an angle is \( 90^\circ - \) the angle.

Given:
- The complement of \( 48^\circ \) is \( 90^\circ - 48^\circ = 42^\circ \).
- Twice the complement of \( 48^\circ \) is \( 2 \times 42^\circ = 84^\circ \).
- The problem states that adding twice the complement of \( 48^\circ \) to the unknown angle's complement equals the unknown angle's complement.

So, we set up the equation:
\[
x = 84^\circ
\]

Thus, the size of the angle is \( 84^\circ \).
