The sum of 2 angles are 180 degrees. 1 is 5 times more than the smaller angle. What is the degree of the 2 angles?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = degrees of smaller angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "5x = degrees of larger angle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + 5x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30 degrees (smaller angle)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Larger angler:
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 5(30) = 150 degrees (larger angle)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
