Question

Find the measure of each angle, if two complementary angles are such that one is five times the other.

Answer 1

let the angle be x and y

so , y = 5x

since they are complemantory angles

x+5x=90

6x = 90

x = 90/6

x = 15...........ans

y=5x=5*15= 75

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: Sum of complementary angles is 90°.

Let one unknown angle be x. then the other angle will become 5x.

Now, 5x + X= 90.

6x=90°

X=90/6

X =15

And 5x is 15 * 5 is 75.

Therefore the two angles are X is equals 15 and 5x equals to 75.
