Answer: 60° and 120°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the angles be x and y
From the question,
x = 2y {equation 1}
Since angles in a linear pair are supplementary,
x + y = 180
2y + y = 180
3y = 180
y = 180/3
y = 60 {equation 2}
Substituting {2} in {1}
x = 2(60)
x = 120
Therefore, the angles are 60° and 120°

Answer:
Angle 1: 60°
Angle 2: 120°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller angle be x.
Therefore, according to the given condition, the larger angle is 2x (as it is twice)
Therefore,
x + 2x = 180° (since it is a linear pair)
3x = 180°
Therefore, x = 60°
Substitute the value of x
Therefore, angle 1 = 60°
angle 2 = 2 (60) = 120°
Hope this helps you!
