Two angles are complementary. The larger angle is 5 times bigger than the smaller angle. What are the measurements of each?

We know complementary means they add up to 90 degrees.
Let x = small angle
Therefore 5x = bigger angle
x + 5x = 90
6x = 90
x = 90/6
x = 15
Therefore the smaller angle is 15 degrees and the bigger angle is 75 degrees (15 x 5).

How do the acute and obtuse angles compare to the right angle?
I think obtus is smaller than right angle (90°) and acute is bigger.
How can you use a right angle to determine the classiacation of another angle?
If the other angle is smaller than the right angle, it is an acute angle.If the other angle is the same as the right angle, it is a right angle.If the other angle is bigger than the right angle but smaller than two right angles, it is an obtuse angle.If the other angle is the same as two right angles, it is a straight angle.If the other angle is bigger than two right angle but smaller than four right angles, it is a reflex angle.After four right angles, the other angle starts back at being an acute angle.
Is 0.75 bigger or smaller than 0.8?
Smaller. If you have trouble understanding that, then pad out 0.8 with an extra zero and make it 0.80. That is the same thing. Thus 0.75 is smaller than 0.80.
Is a positive number bigger or smaller than a negative number?
It is bigger
How many times larger is the area of the larger square in comparison to the smaller square?
If the length of each side of the bigger squares is x times the length of the side of the smaller square, then the area of the bigger square is x2 times the area of the smaller square.
Do you divide when you are converting measurements that are bigger to smaller?
You multiply
Do you divide when you are converting bigger to smaller measurements?
No, you multiply.
Two angles are complementary the bigger angles is five less than twice the smaller angles find the measure of the angles?
This is a simple algebra problem. Let A = smaller angle, B = larger angle B = 2*A -5 Substituting B = 90 - A, 90 - A = 2*A -5 3*A = 95 A = 31 2/3, B = 58 1/3
How are acute angles alike from obtuse angles?
They are both either bigger or smaller than a right angle
In pair of complementary angles can at least one of them be an obtuse angle?
No, because complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.An obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.
Are all angles acute?
No, angles smaller than 90 degrees are acute, angles bigger than 90 degrees are obtuse, angles that are 90 degrees exactly are right-angles, and angles larger than 180 degrees are reflex angles.
What is a internal angles?
It is an angle that is bigger than 180 degrees and smaller than 360 degrees inside of a shape
What three measurements are bigger than a kilometer?
there are many units for measurements .three measurements are bigger than a kilometer are miles , light years and megameters .
How do the acute and obtuse angles compare to the right angle?
I think obtus is smaller than right angle (90°) and acute is bigger.
Which angles are obtuse?
all angles that are more then 180 degrees. * * * * * No, angles which arer more than 180 degrees are called reflex angles. An obtuse angle is one whose measure is between 90 and 180 degrees. It is, therefore, always smaller than 180 degrees.
Why is AAA not an appropriate conjecture for triangle congruence?
It does not necessarily prove congruence but it does prove similarity. You can have a smaller or bigger triangle that has the same interior angles.
Do The interior angles of both a regular and irregular pentagon have a sum of 1080 degrees?
Yes. In the regular polygon, the angles are all equal parts of the 1,080 . In the irregular one, there are bigger and smaller interior angles, but they still add up to the same total.
