Responses
A 12.812.8
B 6464
C 30.830.8
D 26


One side is 26 and the other is 5X

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can use the fact that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.

Let one angle be 26 degrees and the other angle be 5x degrees.

Since the sum of the angles is 90 degrees, we can set up the equation:

26 + 5x = 90

Subtracting 26 from both sides of the equation, we get:

5x = 64

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we get:

x = 12.8

Therefore, the value of x is 12.8 degrees.

The correct answer is A) 12.8.
