The measure of two complementary angles are in the ratio 1 : 4. What are the degree measures of the two angles?

1 answer:

6 0

Since the angles are complementary, they add to 90°. So we can write the equation:
x represents the first angle, and 4x represents the second
x+4x=90
5x=90
x=18

So the first angle is 18° and the second is 72° (18*4)

Hope this helps

Aleonysh [2.5K]

In order to draw x ≤ -10 on a number line, first draw a closed dot at -10. This is because we have a ≤ and not a <. If we had a <, it would be an open dot.

Next, since we want x to be smaller, draw an arrow pointing towards all numbers that are smaller. This arrow would point to the left.

Answer:

9 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

-let x be the speed of current and t be time. The speed equation for both directions can then be represented as:

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\\#Upstream\\(u-6)t=9\\\\\#Donwstream\\\\(u+6)t=45$
