Question

Solve the following problem
The supplementary angles are in the ratio 3:7 find the measure of each

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the measure of the angles be 3x and 7 x respectively

Since they are supplementary,

    3x + 7x = 180°

⇒ 10x = 180°

⇒ x = 18°

Thus, The two angles are

3x = 3×18° = 54°

7x = 7×18° = 126°
