Question 1084947: If two interior angles on the same side of transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the ratio 2:3. Find the measure of larger angle.

The same side angles are supplementary and in ratio 2x:3x, and their sum is 180
5x=180
x=36 degrees
angles are 72 degrees and 108 degrees
Answer is 108 degrees.
