Question

The measure of an angle is nine times the measure of the complementary angle . What is the measure of each angle

Answer 1

9 degrees and 81 degrees.

Explanation:

Complementary angles sum to 90 degrees.

Let one angle be x degrees the the other = 9x.

So we have the equation

x + 9x = 90

10x = 90

x = 9 degrees

and the other angle = 9*9 = 81 degrees.
