The measure of an angle is four times the measure of its complementary angle. what is the measure of each angle?

Hey there!

To start, complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90°. First, let x be the measure of the smaller angle and let 4x represent the larger angle (since it is 4 times the measure of the smaller angle).

Now, set up an equation:

4x + x = 90

Then, solve for x to find the measure of the smaller angle:

4x + x = 90

5x = 90

x= 18

Finally, knowing the measure of the smaller angle, find the larger angle, which is 4 times the smaller:

18 * 4 =

72

Therefore, the measures of each angle are 72 and 18.

Hope this helps!

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
