Answer :-


\longrightarrow \sf The \: angle's \:measure \:is \:15⁰

Solution:-

Two angles are said to be complimentary if their sum is 90⁰. These angles are called compliment of each other.

Assumption :-


\red{\leadsto}\:
\textsf{let \: the \: angle \: be \:x }


\green{\leadsto}\:
\textsf{Complimentary \:angle \:will \:be \:5x }
\sf


\green{ \underline { \boxed{ \sf{Sum \: of \: complimentary \:angles = 90⁰}}}}


\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf x+5x = 90⁰ \\\end{gathered}


\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf 6x = 90⁰ \\\end{gathered}


\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf x = (90)/(6) \\\end{gathered}


\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf x = 15⁰\\\end{gathered}
