Geometry: Applications with Quadratics

[iluvgreen7]

I need help with this problem...

Two angles are complementary. The larger angle has the same measure as the square of the smaller. Find both angles.

So far i have:
x^2= Larger angle
x= Smaller
I then got x^2+x=90 but i dont know what else to do know. Please help

You don't know how to solve \(\displaystyle x^2+x-90=0~?\)

No i do it's just that i'm not sure if thats the right thing to do in this situation.

Can you factor?

Ya i can, so would x=9 and x^2=81

Yes.
