The measure of an angle is 14 times the
1 answer:
Answer:
The smaller angle is 12 and the larger angle is 168
Step-by-step explanation:
Let call the measure of the random angle a. There is a angle that is 14 times of that and supplementary to that the random angle. So that is represented by
Supplementary Angles add up to 180 degrees so let set up an equation
which equal after you combine like with like
Divide 15 by both sides and a=12 and the so smaller angle is 12 and the larger angle is 168

For two ratios to form a proportion they have to be equal.
To see if two ratios are equal we express them in their simplest form.
In this case we notice that in the first ratio both numbers are multiples of five, then:
In the second case we notice that both numbers are multiples of 2, then:
Since both ratios can be simplified to the same final ratio, they form a proportion.
