Question

Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angle is 2/3 the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of each angle

Answer 1

sorry i cant add a comment but which is the smallest angle

Explanation:

Answer 2

108° and 72°

Explanation:

let one angle be x then the other angle is
`(2)/(3)` x

the sum of the 2 angles = 180°, hence

x +
`(2)/(3)` x = 180 ( combining the left side )

`(5)/(3)` x = 180

multiply both sides by 3 then divide both sides by 5

5x = 540 ⇒ x = 108

the 2 angles are x = 108° and
`(2)/(3)` x = 72°
