Question 1122736

Find the measurement of both complementary angles
One of them is 3 times less than the other
<pre>With the smaller being 3 TIMES less than the larger, it the same as saying that the larger is 3 TIMES larger than the smaller.
So, with the smaller being S, the larger is 4S as 3 TIMES larger is the same as 4 TIMES as large.
This gives you the following equation: S + 4S = 90. Solve this to get {{{highlight_green(system(matrix(1,3, Smaller, as, 18^o), and, matrix(1,3, Larger, as, 72^0))))}}}
If you look at the answers, you'll see exactly what I'm saying!
