Answer

Angle 1: 40 Degrees Angle 2: 50 Degrees

Work Step by Step

Complimentary Angle = 90 Degrees Divide total angle by the total number of parts in ratio (4 + 5 = 9) 90/9 = 10 Multiply that by number of parts in each part of the ratio. 10 x 4 = 40 10 x 5 = 50 Add the parts of the ratio to check to make sure it equals the total amount of the angle. 40 + 50 = 90
