Question

YTI # 3: Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angle is 3 times the measure of the

other angle. Find the measure of each angle.

Answer 1

135° and 45°

Explanation:

Let the angles be A and B.

Angle A= 3 times more than angle B.

Therefore, angle A= 3x and angle B= x.

Now, A + B must sum up to 180°.

As a result, 3x + x = 180°.

By making "x" the subject of formula,

4x = 180°

x = 180°/4

x = 45°

Angle A= 45x3, as it is 3 times more than angle B.

To conclude,

Angle A= 135°

Angle B= 45°

I hope you I made the explanations clear enough in order to make it easier for you to understand!
