Hello there!
The sum of two numbers (x + y) is 8 (=8).
Their product (x * y) is 15 (=15).
x + y = 8
x * y = 15
First, we know that the two number must be positive and under 8, as the product is positive.
Let's list out some numbers that are from 1 to 8 that sum up to 8;
1 + 7
2 + 6
3 + 5
4 + 4
Now, we need to multiply the two numbers that add up to 8, and see which makes a product of 15.
1 * 7 = 7, this does not work.
2 * 6 = 12, this does not work.
3 * 5 = 15, this works!
4 * 4 = 16, this does not work.
Since we are looking for the larger number in our pairs, let's pick the largest one out of the correct pair, which is 5.
The largest number is 5.
I hope this helps!
Since the measures of the two angles are in the ratio 8:1, this means the bigger angle's is 8x and the smaller angle is x. Since they are complementary, they add to 90°, so you create the equation 8x+x=90°. This can be simplified to 9x=90°. Then, you divide 90 by 9 to get 10. This means x=10. Next, you replace x with 10 to find the measure of the bigger angle. 8x10=80, so the larger angle is 80°.
