Answer:

The smaller angle is 12 and the larger angle is 168

Explanation:

Let call the measure of the random angle a. There is a angle that is 14 times of that and supplementary to that the random angle. So that is represented by


14a

Supplementary Angles add up to 180 degrees so let set up an equation


a + 14a = 180

which equal after you combine like with like


15a = 180

Divide 15 by both sides and a=12 and the so smaller angle is 12 and the larger angle is 168
