You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two angles are supplementary and the measure of one angle is three times the measure of the other.
find the measure of the smaller angle.
:
let a = the smaller angle
then
3a = the larger
:
a + 3a = 180
4a = 180
a = 180/4
a = 45 degrees is the smaller angle
