The measure of an angle is seventeen times the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

5, 85

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

Let x = 1st angle

17x is the 2nd angle

x+17x = 90

18x = 90

Divide each side by 18

18x/18 = 90/18

x = 5

The first angle is 5

second angle is 18*5= 85

5°, 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let angles be x and 17x

x + 17x = 90

18x = 90

x = 5

17x = 85

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
