Question 369970: two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180degrees. the larger angle measures eight degrees more than three times the smaller angle. if x represents the measure of the smaller angle and these two angles are supplementary, find the measure of each angle. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! smaller angle x
larger angle = 3x+8
..
their sum =180
x+3x+8=180
4x+8=180
-8
4x= 172
/4
x=43 degrees
the other angle will be 180 -43=137 degrees
