The right angle is divided into two angles, and one of them is 8 times larger than the other. Find their degree measures.

1. Let’s designate the degree measure of the smaller of the angles X degrees, then the larger angle will be equal to 8X degrees.

2. Knowing that the right angle is 90 degrees, we can make and solve the equation:

X + 8X = 90;

9X = 90;

X = 10 degrees.

3. If one of the angles is 10 degrees, then the other angle:

10 x 8 = 80 degrees.

Answer: the degree measures of the angles obtained by dividing the right angle, wound 10 and 80 degrees.
