The measure of an angle is 14 times the measure of a complementary angle. What is the measure of the two angles?

Answer 1

Let two angles as X and Y. And Y=14*X

Since two angles are complementary angles, X+Y =90 degrees.

So you can plug Y=14*X in X+Y =90, which is X+14*X = 90

Hence, 15*X = 90 and X= 90/15 = 6 (degrees), Y = 14*X = 14*6 = 84 (degrees)

A : 6 and 84 degrees.
