Find the angle measures. The ratio of the measures of two complementary angles is 1:5

Sagot :

Complementary Angles with ratio of 1:5 in measurements:
First angle:  1x
Second Angle: 5x

Sum of two complementary angles = 90 degrees

Equation:
1x + 5x = 90
6x = 90
6x/6 = 90/6
x = 15

The measures of each complementary angles:
First angle: 1x = 1 (15) = 15 degrees
Second angle:  5(15) = 75 degrees

The complementary angles have measurements of 15 degrees and 75 degrees.

Check:
15 + 75 = 90
90 = 90
