Recall that two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is​ 90°. Find the measures of two complementary angles if one angle is five times the other angle.

4 answers

5a + a = 90

6a = 90

a = ?
5a+a=90

6a=90

a=15
5a+a=90
6a=90
a=15
larger angle=75
75+15=90
smaller angle would be 15 and larger angle would be 75
