Angle B is 5 times its complement, Angle A. Find the measure if the 2 angles
Let B = measure of angle B
then
90-B = measure of angle A (complement of B)
.
From:"Angle B is 5 times its complement, Angle A" we get our equation:
B = 5(90-B)
B = 450-5B
6B = 450
B = 75 degrees
.
Measure of A:
90-B = 90-75 = 15 degrees
