∠PQR and ∠ABC are complementary angles and ∠PQR is eight times as large as ∠ABC. Determine thean measure of each angle.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Let ABC = x
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Then PQR = 90-x
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(90-x) = 8x
\n" ); document.write( "90 = 9x
\n" ); document.write( "x = ABC = 10 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( "90-x = PQR = 80 degrees
