Two complementary angles are in the ratio of 1:5. find the measure of the larger angle?

1 answer:

7 0

First you set up an equation using a variable:
x + 5x = 90° (complementary angles = 90°)
6x = 90
x = 15 (also the measure of the smaller angle)

now plug in x to find the larger angle:
5(15) = 75°

Answer:

$\large\boxed{t=0\ \vee\ t=\dfrac{1}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4t-16t^2=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4t}{4}-\dfrac{16t^2}{4}=\dfrac{0}{4}\\\\t-4t^2=0\\\\t(1-4t)=0\iff t=0\ \vee\ 1-4t=0\\\\1-4t=0\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\-4t=-1\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\t=\dfrac{1}{4}$

What is bigger 1/3 or 3/5

raketka [301]

$Method\ 1:$

$\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1\cdot5}{3\cdot5}=\dfrac{5}{15}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{3\cdot3}{5\cdot3}=\dfrac{9}{15}\\\\\dfrac{3}{15} < \dfrac{9}{15}\ therefore\ \dfrac{3}{5}\ is\ bigger$

$Method\ 2:$

$\dfrac{1}{3} < \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1.5}{3}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5} > \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2.5}{5}\\\\therefore\ \dfrac{3}{5}\ is\ bigger$
