Answer 1

Answer:

48° and 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angles be x and y

And,

$x=2/3*y$

As given,

$x+y=120$

Substitute the X value

$2/3*y+y=120\\\\=> (2y+3y)/2=120\\\\=> 2y+3y=120*3\\\\=> 5y=360\\\\=> y=360/5\\\\=> y=72$

Put Y = 72

$x+y=120\\\\=> x+72=120\\\\=> x=120-72\\\\=> x=48$

SO, angles are 48 and 72
