Question

two complimentary angles are such that one is five times the other. what is the measure (in degrees) of the smaller of the two angles.

Answer 1

15°

Explanation:

The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90°.

Let the smaller angle measure x.

The larger angles measures 5x.

x + 5x = 90

6x = 90

x = 90/6

x = 15

Answer: 15°
