Question

The ratio of two complementary angles is 7:8.Find the measure of the larger angle.

Answer 1

Given:

The ratio of two complementary angles is 7:8

The sum of the ratios = 7 + 8 = 15

The sum of the complementary angles = 90

So, the measure of the larger angle will be as follows:

$90\cdot\frac{8}{15}=48$

So, the answer will be:

The measure of the larger angle = 48°
