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

18,72

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

Multiply the ratio by x

1x+4x = 90

Combine like terms

5x = 90

divide by 5

5x/5 = 90/5

x =18

The first angle is 18 degrees

4*18 =72

The second angle is 72 degrees

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
