Question

Two angles are complementary to each other. If the measure of one of them is 4 times
that of the other, find the measures of the angles.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The angles are 18° and 72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller angle be x, then the larger angle will be 4x.

Now, two angles are said to be complementary if they add upto 90°.

Thus,

x + 4x = 90°

5x = 90°

x = 90°/5

x = 18°

And the larger angle = 4(18°) = 72°

So,

The angles are 18° and 72°.
