You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let a=one angle
b= the other angle.
What is the relationship of supplementary angles?
We need two equations two solve this because we have two variables and b
the first equation will be the relationship of the two supplementary angles
the second equation will be the relationship of length and width as in the problem
