Question

the measure of two angles are complementary are in the ratio 1:5 find the degree measure of each angle

Answer 1

Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.

A ratio of 1: 5 can be expressed algebraically as 1x: 5x.

So our equation is 1x+ 5x = 90
6x = 90
x = 15

So one angle is 1x = 1(15) = 15 degrees, and the second angle is
5x = 5(15) = 75 degrees.
