Question

The measure of the supplement of an angle is in a 2:3 ratio to the measure of the angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

angle1 : angle 2:

72 108

Explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180

angle1 : angle 2:

2 3

Multiply each term by x

2x 3x

The total is 180

2x+3x= 180

5x= 180

Divide by 5

5x/5 =180/5

x =36

angle1 : angle 2:

2*36 3*36

72 108
