Answer:
144 degrees
Step-by-step explanation
the angles are supplementary
let the 2 angles be x and y
thus,
x+y=180 degrees [1]
[supplementary angles adds to form 180 degrees]
let the greater angle be x and it's supplement be y
thus according to the given condition,
x=4y [2]
sub. the value of x in equation [1] we get,
x+y=180
thus,
4y+y=180 [from 2]
5y=180
y=180/5
y=36
sub. the value of y we get
x+y=180
x+36=180 [y=36]
x=180-36
x=144
if it helps mark it as the brainliest
