Problema Solution
Two angles are supplementary. (The measures of supplementary angles sum up to 180 degrees.) One is three times the other. Find their measurements
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' and 'y' be the two supplementary angles
x + y = 180
one is three times the other
x = 3y
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 180
x = 3y
we find
x = 135 degrees
y = 45 degrees
