Question 1095613: Two angles are complementary if the sum of their angles is 90. Given two angles are complementary, one angle is 5 times as large as the other angle. Find the measure of each angle. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! smaller is x degrees
larger is 5x degrees
complementary angles add to 90 deg
6x=90
x=15 degrees smaller
5x=75 degrees larger
