Question 97871: An angle is five times the measure of its complement. Find the measure of the two angles. Answer by coyote(32) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Complementary angles are 2 angles that equal 90 degrees, so
x is angle 1
5x is angle 2
x+5x=90
6x=90
divide 90 by 6 =15

To check
75+15=90
90=90
