1Q: Two angles are complementary and in the ration of 1:5. Find the measure of each angle.
2Q: The larger og two complementary angles is 30 degrees less than twice the smaller. Find the measure of each angle.
THANK YOU!!!

Hello there,
1. Let's express the smaller angle as "s", since it's smaller. The ratio is 1:5 so you would set up the following equation:
s + 5s = 90 (complementary angle = 90�)
In this case, s would be the smaller angle, and 5s would be the larger angle. I'll leave it to you now.

2. We will denote "s" as the smaller angle and "L" as the larger angle".
s = s
L = 2s - 30
They are complementary so s + L = 90.
There you are.
