Given: Two angles are complementary, so their sum is 90 degrees.
Therefore,
5x + 7x = 90
12x = 90
x = 90/12
x = 7.5
The angles will be:
5(7.5) = 37.5 degrees
7(7.5) = 52.5 degrees
Therefore, x = 7.5, 37.5 degrees and 52.5 degrees
Therefore, the answer is not provided among the options.
Two complementary angles have measures (5x) degrees and (7x) degrees. What is the value of x and the two angle measures?
