Question

Two adjacent angles have a sum of 96. One angle is 3 times the size of the other angle. What are the measures of the two angles

Answer 1

24 degrees and 72 degrees

Explanation:

4 EQUAL parts;

part 1, 2, and part 3 are all included in the bigger angle

part 4 is included in the smaller angle

96 (total) / 4 (parts) = 24 degrees

part 1 + part 2 + part 3 = 72 degrees

part 4 = 24 degrees

Your angle measures are 24 degrees and 72 degrees.
