Question

Among two supplementary angles the measure of the larger angle is 44 degree more than the measure of the smaller.Find their measure

Answer 1

Answer:

let the smaller angle = x

Given the larger angle is 44 more than the smaller angle= x + 44

Given the angles are supplementary

= smaller angle + larger angle = 180

= x + x+44=180

= 2x +44 = 180

= 2x= 180-44 = 136

= x = 136/2= 68

hence, smaller angle = x = 68 degrees

larger angle = x + 44 = 68 + 44 = 112 degree

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be smaller angle be 'x' ; and larger angle is 'x+44' therefore the sum of larger angle and smaller angle is 180

x +x + 44 = 180

2x+ 44 =180

2x =180-44

2x= 136

x = 68

therefore, larger angle is ' 68+44=112'

smallerangle is x = 68
