Algebra.Com's Answer #829154 by amoresroy(361)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = the measure of the smaller angle \n" ); document.write( "x + 115.8 = the measure of the larger angle\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Supplementary angles add up to 180. \n" ); document.write( "So we have, \n" ); document.write( "x + x + 115.8 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "2x = 180 - 115.8 \n" ); document.write( "x = 64.2/2 \n" ); document.write( "x = 32.1 (smaller angle) \n" ); document.write( "For the larger angle, we have \n" ); document.write( "x + 115.8 = 32.1 + 115.8 = 147.9\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: \n" ); document.write( "Smaller angle measures 32.1 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Larger angle measures 147.9 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solved.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
