Answer: 7.5

Form your proportion. Let x be the width of QRST.

Length of ABCD      Length of QRST
-----------------------  =  ------------------------- 
Width of ABCD         Width of QRST

8/5 = 12/x

Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
(8)(x) = (12)(5)
8x = 60
x = 7.5

Two angles are complementary. The measure of the larger angle is 10 more than 4 times the measure of the small angle. Find the m
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the measurement of the smaller angle = x

Larger angle = 4x + 10

x + (4x + 10) = 90    {complementry}

5x  + 10  = 90

        5x = 90 -10

         5x = 80

            x = 80/5

            x = 16

Smaller angle = 16

Larger angle = 4*16 + 10 = 64+10 = 74
