1N+9N=180
10N=180
N=180/10
N=18
1*18=18 DEGREES FOR THE SMALLER ANGLE.
9*18=162 DEGREES FOR THE LARGER ANGLE.
PROOF:
18 + 162 = 180

The measure of 2 supplementary angles are in the ratio 1:9. Find the degree measure of the smaller angle.
----------------------
Supplementary angles add to 180�
------------
1a + 9a = 180
a = 18
----
Angles are 18� and 162�
