Question

What is the ratio of the measure of the complement of a 50 degrees-angle to the measure of the supplement of the same angle?

Answer 1

`("complement "50^@)/("supplement " 50^@) = 4/13`

Explanation:

By definition the complement of an angle is `90^@` minus the angle
and the supplement of an angle is `180^@` minus the angle.

The complement of `50^@` is `40^@`
The supplement of `50^@` is `130^@`

The ratio `("complement "50^@)/("supplement " 50^@)`

`color(white)("XXXX")` `=(40^@)/(130^@) = 4/13`
