Answer:

We get ∠A =40° and ∠B = 140° and ∠B = 140° is measure of larger angle

Explanation:

we have ∠A = (2x − 30)° and ∠B = 4x, and we need to find measure of larger angle. And ∠A and ∠A are supplementary angles.

If the angles are supplementary there sum is equal to 180° i.e A + B = 180°

So, First we have to find the value of x. and then we can determine larger angle.

We know: ∠A + B = 180

2x-30+4x=180

6x-30=180

6x=180+30

6x=210

x=210/6

x=35

So, value of x is x=35

Now finding A and B

∠A = (2x − 30)°

∠A = (2(35) − 30)°

∠A = (70 − 30)°

∠A =40°

and ∠B = 4x

∠B = 4(35)

∠B = 140°

So, we get ∠A =40° and ∠B = 140° and ∠B = 140° is measure of larger angle
