Question

One angle in a complementary pair of angles measures 3 times the other angle.

What is the measure, in degrees, of the
smaller angle?

Answer 1

22.5 degrees

Explanation:

Complementary angles add up to be 90 degrees. You can model the simple equation
`x+3x=90` where is x is the small angle and 3x is the large angle.

`4x=90\\x=22.5`

the smaller angle is 22.5 degrees
