Question 1192356: Two complementary angles are in ratio 1:5. Fine the two angles
Answer by math_tutor2020(3816) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
One angle is x, and the other is 5x
They form the ratio x:5x which reduces to 1:5
x is some positive real number
Those two angles are complementary, meaning they add to 90 degrees
x+5x = 90
6x = 90
x = 90/6
x = 15
This leads to 5x = 5*15 = 75
The two angles are 15 degrees and 75 degrees.
