Among two supplementary angles the measure of the larger angles is 52° more than the measure of the smaller. Find their measures.
➣ Two Supplementary Angles
➣ Larger Supplementary Angle measure 52° more than the measure of the smaller Supplementary Angle
➣ The Measure of the Smaller Supplementary Angle
➣ The Measure of the Larger Supplementary Angle
➪ Let the Smaller Supplementary Angle = x°
➪ Let the Larger Supplementary Angle = x° + 52°
➪ The Sum of two Supplementary Angles = 180°
⇒ x + 52° + x = 180°
⇒ 2x + 52° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° - 52°
⇒ 2x = 128°
⇒ x =
⇒ x = 64°
➣ Smaller Supplementary Angle = x° = 64°
➣ Larger Supplementary Angle = x + 52° = 64° + 52° = 116°
➦ So, the measure of the smaller supplementary angle is 64° and the measure of the larger supplementary angle is 116°
