Question

∠F and ∠G are supplementary angles. If m∠F is two less than six times the measure of ∠G, find the measures of both angles

Answer 1

Answer:

∠ G = 26°, ∠ F = 154°

Step-by-step explanation:

Express ∠ F in terms of ∠ G, that is

F = 6G - 2

and since the angles are supplementary, then

G + 6G - 2 = 180, that is

7G - 2 = 180 ( add 2 to both sides )

7G = 182 ( divide both sides by 7 )

G = 26

Thus

∠ G = 26° and ∠ F = 6(26) - 2 = 156 - 2 = 154°
