Problema Solution
An angle measures 124° less than the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' and 'y' represent the supplementary angles, and x>y
x + y = 180
An angle measures 124° less than the measure of a supplementary angle:
y = x - 124
By solving:
x + y = 180
y = x - 124
........
........
x = 152 degrees
y = 28 degrees
The measure of the angles is: 152 degrees and 28 degrees.
