Angle A is one fourth as large as its supplement, angle B. Find the measurement of each angle

Since angle A is the measure of angle B, its supplement, then we'll have:

4A = 180 - A ------ Multiplying each side of equation by LCD, 4

5A = 180

A =

Therefore, the measure of the angle, or A is: while the measure of its supplement is
