Answer:

The angles are 36° and 144°

Explanation:

Let

x-----> one of the angles formed by two intersecting lines

y----> the other angle formed by two intersecting lines

we know that

x+y=180° -----> Equation A (by supplementary angles)

x=4y -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

4y+y=180°

5y=180°

y=36°

Find the value of x

x=4(36°)=144°

therefore

The angles are 36° and 144°
