Question

Recall that two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90' Find the measures of two complementary angles if one angle is seventeen times the other angle

Smaller angle =
Larger angle =

Answer 1

The Smaller angle is 5 degrees
And the Larger angle 85 degrees because 5x17 equal 85+5 equals 90 therefore the 2 angles r complementary Bc the add to 90

Answer 2

Smaller angle is 5 degrees

Bigger angle is 85 degrees

Explanation:

x=smaller angle, y=bigger angle

x+y=90

y=17x

x+17x=90

18x=90

x=5
