Question 1018294
.
If angle G and angle H are supplementary and measure for angle {{{highlight(G)}}} is 4 times measure for angle H, what are the measures of angle G and H?
------------------------------------------------------


<pre>
Let m be the measure of angle H, in degrees
Then the measure for angle G is 4m in degrees, according to the condition.

Supplementary angles sum up to 180°. It gives you an equation

m + 4m = 180.

Simplify and solve:

5m = 180.

m = {{{180/5}}} = 36.

<U>Answer</U>. The measure of angle H is 36°. The measure of angle G is 144°.
