Question

What is the ratio of the measure of the complement of a 50 degrees-angle to the measure of the supplement of the same angle?

Answer 1

complementary angle = 180

therefore complement of 50

50 + x = 180

x = 180 - 50

x = 130

supplementary angle = 90

therefore supplementary of 50

50 + x = 90

x = 90 - 50

x = 40

ratio is

130/40= 13/4

therefore the ratio is

13:4
