The ratio of the complement of x to the supplement of x is 2:5. The value of x is 30
Solution:
It is given that x represents the measurement of an acute angle in degrees. It is also given that the ratio of the complement of x to the supplement of x is 2:5.
Since it is given that x is an acute angle it means that it has to be less than 90.
Complement of an angle = 90 - x
Supplement of an angle = 180 - x
In this case it is given that the ratio of the complement of x to the supplement of x is 2:5
So we can write the relation as follows:
Therefore the value of x is 30.
