Question

the measure of 2 complementary angles are in the ratio 1:4. what are the degree measures of the 2 angles

Answer 1

Angles are 18° and 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

• Step 1: Find the two complementary angles in the ratio 1:4. Let the angles be 1x and 4x.

x + 4x = 90° (∵ they are complementary)

5x = 90

∴ x = 90/5 = 18

⇒ Angles are 18° and 4x = 72°
