Question

The measure of an angle is four times the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first angle be x.

Therefore the second angle = 4x

Two angles are called complementary when their measures add to 90 degrees.

Therefore,

x + 4x = 90

= 5x = 90

= x = 90/5 = 18

Answers:-

First angle = $18^{o}$

Second angle = 4 * 18 or 90 - 18 = $72^{o}$

Hope it helps!
