Question

Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180 degrees. One angle measures three times the measure of a smaller angle. If X represents the measure of the smaller. Angle and these two angles are supplementary, find the measure of each angle.

Answer 1

So 3 times the measure of a small angle

3x + x= 180

4x = 180
X= 45

3(45) + 4(45) = 180

Hope this helps!
