Question

the ratio of the measures of two complementary angles is 7:8 what is the measure of the smaller angle

Answer 1

Complementary = 90

First angle = 7x

Second Angle = 8x

7x + 8x = 90

15x = 90

x = 90/15

=6

7x is smaller angle

7x = 7*6=42

The smaller angle is 42°

Answer 2

Here is ur answer.

................................................................................................................

• Let the angle be 7 x and 8 x.

A/Q,  7 x + 8 x = 90

15 x = 90

so

x = 6

So ,

The measure of smaller angle = 7 x 6  = 42

Thank u.
