If the meaning of an angle and its supplement are in the ratio 13:23, then the measure of the larger angle, in degrees, is:
let’s an angle be and its supplement
we know their sum is:
....eq.1
if their ratio , we have
....eq.2
solve the system:
start with ....eq.1 and solve for ....eq.1a
substitute in eq.2
....eq.2...solve for °
find
....eq.1a
°
so, the measure of the larger angle is: C) °
