Question

The ratio of two complementary angles is 4:1. Find the measure of both angles.

Answer 1

Answer:

72 : 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the two complementary angles is 4 : 1

4x + 1x = 90

5x = 90

x =18

4x = 4(18) = 72

x = 18

Therefore the ratio is 72 : 18

Answer: 72 : 18

 

Answer 2

Complimentary means that the sum of the two <‘s is 90.
So, 4x+x=90.
5x=90
Divide both sides by 5.
X=18.
The shorter <=18.
The longer <=18*4=72
