Please note that complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees (not 180 degrees)

anonymous · Answer

Let one angle be x
Other angle = 5x
Given, x + 5x = 90
6x = 90
x = 15
Other angle is 75
Am I right @radar

@Rohith15 Yes that is correct.  Your previous post (deleted) solved for two supplementary angles, and as usual there was a "gotcha" answer just waiting for that :=)
