Question

Help please!!! Two angles are complementary. One angle is ten less than five times the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of the two angles. (Write the answer as a fraction)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the angles are x and y.

Then y = 5x-10

Since both the angles form complementary,

x+y = 90

x+5x-10 = 90

6x = 100

x= 100/6 or 50/3

y = 5(50/3) - 10

= (250/3 ) - 10

= 220/3

Answer 2

Answer: 30 degrees and 60 degrees are complementary angles.
