Question

I have supplementary angles where the measure of one angle is ¼ the measure of the other. What is the measure of the larger angle?

What is the measure of the smaller angle?

Answer 1

larger angle --- x
smaller angle --- x/4

x + x/4 = 180

solve for x, and sub in my definitions.

or

smaller angle ---- y
larger angle ---- 4y

y+4y = 180

solve for y, y will be the smaller angle, since I defined it as such
