Answer:

Explanation:

Let's call the two angles in the ratio of 4:13 "x" and "y".

We know that the sum of all three angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

So, we can set up an equation:

10 + x + y = 180

We also know that x and y are in a ratio of 4:13, which means we can write:

x = 4k

y = 13k

where "k" is a constant that we need to find.

Substituting these expressions for x and y into the equation, we get:

10 + 4k + 13k = 180

17k = 170

k = 10

Now we can find the values of x and y:

x = 4k = 4(10) = 40

y = 13k = 13(10) = 130

Therefore, the measures of the two angles in the ratio of 4:13 are 40 degrees and 130 degrees, respectively.
