Answer:

9.49525

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the total and the percent so you are looking for the part. You can set up a proportion with 9.5 over 100 and x over 99.95. Then you multiply 9.5 times 99.95 to get 949.525 which then you divide by 100. So x is 9.49525

Two complementary angles are in the ratio of 1:5. find the measure of the larger angle?

Luden [163]

First you set up an equation using a variable:
x + 5x = 90° (complementary angles = 90°)
6x = 90
x = 15 (also the measure of the smaller angle)

now plug in x to find the larger angle:
5(15) = 75°
