Question

The complement of an angle is 8 times as large as the angle. find the measure of the complement

Answer 1

Complement angles means that the sum of the two angles equal to 90°.
Thus,
x + 8x = 90
9x = 90
x = 10°
8x = 80°
The complement is 80°

Answer 2

Answer:

80⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle = x

Complement = 90 - x

Given:

8x = 90 - x

9x = 90

x = 10⁰

Complement = 90 - 10 = 80⁰
