Answer:

The measure of the unknown angle is 15°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent this angle by A.  Then the complement of A is 90° - A.

"Angle whose complement is five times its measure" would be expressed as

90° - A = 5A

Solve this for A by adding A to both sides:

90° = 6A.  Then A = 90°/6, or 15°
