Question

two angles are complementary. the sum of the measure of the first angle and one-fourth the second angle is 60.75 degrees find the measures of the angles.

what is the measure of the smaller angle?
what is the measure of the other angle?

Answer 1

x+y=90
x+y/4=60.75

Answer 2

2 angles are complementary if they add up to 90 degree. Thus you can set up the equations to:
angle 1 + angle2 =90
angle 1 + 1/4 angle 2 = 60.75

Answer 3

(1-1/4)y=29.25
3y/4=29.25
y=29.25*4/3=39
x=51

Answer 4

uzma
so smaller angle is 39 and other angle is 51 correct?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

thansk uzma for all the info

Answer 7

your welcome dear
