The sum of two supplementary angles are 180 degrees \n" ); document.write( "Let the two supplementary angles be x and y \n" ); document.write( "according to given condition let \n" ); document.write( "x = 4+ y*(1/3) \n" ); document.write( "But x+y = 180 \n" ); document.write( "4+ y*(1/3) +y = 180 \n" ); document.write( "(y+3y)/3 = 180 - 4 \n" ); document.write( "4y/3 = 176 \n" ); document.write( "4y = 176*3 \n" ); document.write( "y =(176*3)/4 \n" ); document.write( "y = 132 degrees \n" ); document.write( "x = 4 + y/3 = 4 +132/3 \n" ); document.write( "x = 48 degrees \n" ); document.write( "x=48 degrees; y = 132 degrees \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
