Heya!!Here is your answer friend ⤵⤵
Let one angle be x
The other angle is 1/4x
Using the property , sum of supplementary angles is 180
We have ,
x+1/4x=180
4x+x/4=180
5x/4=180
5x=180*4
5x=720
x=720/5
x=144
--------
Supplement is 36
Hope it helps you ✌✌

We know that two angles are supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees.
Given that supplement of an angle is one-fourth of itself.
= > x + x/4 = 180
= > (4x + x)/4 = 180
= > 5x = 720
= > x = 720/5
= > x = 144.
Therefore the measure of the angle is 144.
Hope this helps!
