Question

Two supplementary angles differe by 40°. The measure of the larger angle is? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they differ from 40 degrees therefore the angles are and let the angle be x

=> x+x+40=180=>2x=180-40=>x=140/2=>70

therefore the angles are 70 degrees

and 70+40=110 degrees

The sum of two supplimentary angles = 180 degrees

difference of the two supplimentary angles = 40

two spplimentary angles = x and x + 40

x + x + 40

=2x + 40 = 180

= 2x = 180 - 40 = 140

= x = 140/2 = 70 degrees

angle 1 = x = 70 degrees

angle 2 = x+40 = 70+40 = 110 degrees

thus the two angles are 70 and 110 degrees

Answer 2

2x-40 =180

2x = 180-40

2x = 140

x =140/2

x=70

measure of large angle is 110
