The measures of the 2 acute angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 4 : 6. What arethe measures of the 2 angles? Select
A) 20° B) 70° C) 110° D) 120° E) 54°
If the ratio of the two angles is 4:6, then the measures of two angles can be written as 4x and 6x. Also the two acute angles of a triangle is equal to 90°. Hence   4x + 6x = 90   10x = 90   x = 9   Measures of the two acute angles are   4x = 4 × 9 = 36°   6x = 6 × 9 = 54°   54°
