Question

The ratio of the measures of two complementary angles is 7:8. What is the measure of the smaller angle

Answer 1

Answer: 42°

Explanation:

Complimentary angles are angles sum up to make 90°

From the ratio given 7:8,

Add the ratios together and find the smaller angle as follows

7 + 8 = 15

Therefore,

⁷/₁₅ x 90 = 42°

The smaller angle is 42°
