Question

Recall that two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is​ 90°. find the measures of two complementary angles if one angle is 44 times the other angle.

Answer 1

Model the problem as the following: 44x+x=90
where x equals the smaller of the two angles. Then, simplify to: 45x=90
Divide by 45 to get x=2
Then input 2 into the equation to get the angles 2° and 88°
