Question

1. Two angles are complementary. One angle is three times as large as the other.

What are the number of degrees in each angle? *
22.5 and 67.5
22.5 and 3x
22.5 and 90
67.5 and x

Answer 1

The answer is 22.5 and 67.5 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 angles are complementary, they add up to 90 degrees.

One angle is 3 times as large as the other, because of that divide the total amount of degrees (90 degrees) and divide it by 4.

When you divide 90 by 4 you get 22.5 degrees.

22.5 times 3 is 67.5 and to double check that its 3 times as large as the other angle, add 67.5 and 22.5 which equals 90 degrees.

Therefore, your answer is 22.5 and 67.5 degrees.
