Question

Two angles are a linear pair. The measure of the first angle minus 39 is equal to twice the measure of the second angle. What are the measures of both angles?

Answer 1

Answer:f two angles form a linear pair, then the sum of the degree measure of the angles is 180  

0

.

Let x= measure of the smaller angle.

Then,

2x=measure of the other angle.

So,

x+2x=180  

0

 

3x=180  

0

 

x=60  

0

 

The measures of the angles are 60  

0

 and 120  

0

.

Step-by-step explanation:Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false(F) (i) Angles forming a linear pair are supplementary. (ii) If two adjacent angles are equal, then each angle measures 900.. (iii) Angles forming a linear pair can both the acute angles. {iv) If angles forming a linear pair are equal, then each of these angles is of measure 900..
