Question

The measures of two angles have a sum of 180 degrees. The measures of the angles are in a ratio of 5:1.what are the measures of both angles

Answer 1

5(30)+30=180.
that is the correct answer b\c 30 + 30 + 30 +30 + 30+30=180

Answer 2

one angle is 150 and the other is 30.
this is because the equation worked out would be 5x + x = 180, or 6x = 180
you divide 180 by 6 to get 30, then multiply it by five, which is 150. the remaining amount is 30.
so, essentially, 5(30) + 30 = 180.
