among two supplementary angles the measure of the larger angle is 44 degree more than the measure of the smaller find the measures
Answers
let the smaller degree angle be x
so the larger one will be x+44
A/Q
x+x+44=180
2x+44=180
x=180-44/2
x=136/2
x=68
Answer:
68 and 112
Step-by-step explanation:
let the small angle be x
the larger angle x+44
x+44+x=180
2x+44=180
2x=180-44
2x=136
x=68
the small angle x=68
the larger angle x+44=68+44=112
Let x be the bigger number
y be the smaller number
x+y=180 (since supplementary)...(1)
y+44=x (given)
Therefore, x-y=44............(2)
(1)+(2)
x+y=180
x-y= 44
2x+0=224
2x=224
x=224/2
Therefore., x=112...........(3)
Substitute (3) in (1)
x+y=180
112+y=180
y=180 - 112
Therefore, y=68
Therefore, bigger angle=112
And smaller angle = 68
