Answer provided by our tutors

the ratio of an angle to its complement is 4:5. find the measure of each angle?


let 'x' be the angle


the complementary angle of x is 90-x


he ratio of an angle to its complement is 4:5


x/(90-x) = 4/5


by solving the equation we find


x = 40 degrees


its complementary angle is 90-40 = 50 degrees
