Algebra.Com's Answer #577409 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! both angles become acute angles in a right triangle.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if angle PSQ is equal to x, then angle PQS is equal to 5x.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since they are acute angles of a right triangle, their sum has to be equal to 90 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you get x + 5x = 90 which becomes 6x = 90 which becomes x = 15.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "PSQ is equal to 15 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "PQS is equal to 75 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "their sum is 90 \n" ); document.write( "the ratio of PSQ to PQS is 15 to 75 which reduces to 1 to 5 because 75 / 15 is equal to 5.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
