Question

The ratio of two complementary angles is 72 then the angles are​

Answer 1

Answer:

The measure of the smaller angle is 18 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary = 90 degrees

Let's say there are 5 parts of the complementary angles, to solve for one part:

90 /5 = 18

Then we can multiply 18 by 1 and 4 to find the two complementary angles.

18 ⋅ 1 = 18

18 ⋅4 = 72

The smaller angle is 18 degrees.

Answer 2

Answer:

Then we can multiply 18 by 1 and 4 to find the two complementary angles. 18⋅1=18. 18⋅4= 72. The smaller angle is 18 degrees.
