Question 1092126: The measure of an angle is no more than one fourth its supplement.Find the maximum measure of the smaller angle. Please help me and can u please like explain how you got the answer!!!! Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let A = the angle
Write an equation for the statement:
"The measure of an angle is no more than one fourth its supplement."
A <= (180-A); from this we know A is the smaller angle
get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides by 4
4A <= 180 - A
Add A to both sides
5A <= 180
A <= 180/5
A <= 36 degrees
"Find the maximum measure of the smaller angle."
Obviously 36 degrees is the max measure
