Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!! Mariah cuts a rectangle along its diagonal. Two congruent triangles are created. The two angles created by the diagonal have a sum of 90°. The smaller angle is 1/5 the measure of the larger angle. Let x represent the measure of the larger angle and let y represent the measure of the smaller angle. What is a system of equations that can be used to find the measures of the two angles?
A. x + y = 90 and y = x - 1/5
B. y = 90 + x and y = 5 + x
C. y = 90 + x and y = 5x
D. x + y = 90 and y = x/5

Answer 1

Answer:

Stated Below:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 90 because the 2 angles add up to 90 .

Now, m < x = five times  m < y, so x = 5y or y = x/5

So the last choice is the correct one.
