Question

two angles are supplementary. the measure of the larger angle is 3x the measure of the smaller angle. What is the measure of the smaller angle?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

If the measure of the larger angle is 3x the measure of the smaller one, the relationship is as follows:

3x + x = 180

Adding both terms:

4x = 180

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 180 / 4

Simplifying:

x = 45

The measure of the smaller angle is x= 45 degrees
