The measures of two complementary angles are in the ratio of 2 : 7. Find the measurements of the two angles.

Answer :

Answer: 20°  &  70°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know complementary angles will add up to 90° and we also know we can divide the total by 9 parts because our ratio is 2 parts to every 7 parts.

To find each individual part size...

9x=90

x=10

so use our ratio...

2x10=20  for first angle

7x10=70 for second angle
