Algebra.Com's Answer #143512 by orca(409) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the smaller one be x, the the larger one is 4x.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As the sum of the two supplementary angles is 180 degrees, we have \n" ); document.write( "x + 4x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "Solving for x, we have \n" ); document.write( "5x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "x = 36 \n" ); document.write( "So the two angles are: \n" ); document.write( "36 and 4x=4x36 = 144 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
