Question

use the given ratios to solve each problem:
- the ratios of the measures of two complementary angles is 7:8. What is the measure of the smaller angle?

Answer 1

Answer:

let , the ratio number = 7x , 8x

sum of complementary angle = 90°

7x + 8x = 90°

15x = 90°

x = 6

7x = 7*6 = 42°

8x = 8*6 = 48°

the measure of the smaller angle = 42°
