Question

The measure of an angle is 14 times the measure of a complementary angle. what is the measure of each angle

Answer 1

The angles would be 6 degrees and 84 degrees

Explanation:

In order to find this we must first note that complementary angles have a sum of 180. Now we can set the smaller angle as x and the larger angle as 14x. Now find the sum and set equal to 180.

x + 14x = 90

15x = 90

x = 6

This makes the first angle 6 and we can find the larger angle.

14x

14(6)

84
