Two angles are supplementary and the measure of one angle is three times the measure of the other.
\n" ); document.write( " find the measure of the smaller angle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let a = the smaller angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "3a = the larger
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a + 3a = 180
\n" ); document.write( "4a = 180
\n" ); document.write( "a = 180/4
\n" ); document.write( "a = 45 degrees is the smaller angle \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
