Answer: The two angles are 117 degrees and 63 degrees.

Explanation:

Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180 degrees. Let the two angles be 13x and 7x, where x is a constant of proportionality.

We know that the sum of the angles is 180 degrees, so:

13x + 7x = 180

Combining like terms, we get:

20x = 180

Dividing both sides by 20, we get:

x = 9

So the measures of the angles are:

13x = 13(9) = 117 degrees

7x = 7(9) = 63 degrees

Therefore, the two angles are 117 degrees and 63 degrees.
