Answer:

The angles measures x and 4x are complementary angles. The value of x is 36 degrees

Solution:

Given, two angles are x and 4x

We have to find the value of above given x

We are also given that, given two angles are complementary angles for each other

So, we know that, sum of any two complementary angles will always be equal to 180 degrees

Then, in the problem given,

$x+4 x=180 \rightarrow 5 x=180 \rightarrow x=(180)/(5) \rightarrow x=36$

Hence the angles measures x and 4x are complementary angles. The value of x is 36 degrees
