    The measure of angles are 22.5 degree and 67.5 degree

    Solution:

    Given that, measures of two complementary angles are in ratio 1 : 3

    one angle : another angle = 1 : 3

    Let the first complementary angle 1x

    Let the another complementary angle be 3x

    If the angles are complementary, then their sum is 90 degrees

    Therefore,

    1x + 3x = 90

    4x = 90

    x = 22.5

    Then, first angle = 1x = 1 (22.5) = 22.5

    Another angle = 3x = 3 (22.5) = 67.5

    Thus the measure of angles are 22.5 degree and 67.5 degree
