Question 221174: angle a is twice as large its supplement angle b
Answer by drj(1380) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Angle a is twice as large its supplement angle b.
Step 1. Let a be the angle.
Step 2. Let 180-a be its supplement.
Step 3. Then a=2(180-a) since angle a is twice as large as its supplement.
Step 4. Simplifying yields a=360-2a or 3a=360 after adding 2a to both sides of the equation. Divide by 3 to both sides of the equation yields a=120 degrees.
Step 5. Angle b is 180-120=60 degrees.
Step 6. ANSWER: The angles are 60 and 120 degrees.
I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
