Question

Two angles are supplementary. The measure of the larger angle is 18 less than twice the measure of the smaller angle. Find the measure of the angles. Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the smaller angle be x.

A/Q

Larger angle = 18+2x

now,

2x+x-18=180

3x=180

3x=180+18

3x=198

x=198/3

x=66

Hence,

the smaller angle=x=66

the lager angle=2x+x-18=180°-66°=114°
