Question

Two angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees). The measure of one angle is ten more than the other. Find the measure of each angle.

Answer 1

Answer:

85° and 95°

Step-by-step explanation:

So, one angle is x, the other angle is x + 10. Using this, you can form an equation.

x + x + 10 = 180

Now, solve the equation.

2x + 10 = 180

2x = 170

x = 85

So, one angle is 85 while the other angle is 95.

85 + 95 = 180,

so we know that our answer is correct.
