Question

An angle measures 167.8° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the

measure of each angle?

Answer 1

The smaller angle is 6.1, the larger angle is 173.9

Explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180. Let's assume x is the smaller angle. (aka the angle that measures 167.8 less)

The larger angle would be (x + 167.8) because the smaller angle is 167.8 less than the large angle.

The equation would be 180 = x + (167.8 + x)

Solve for x and you get 6.1
