Question

Two angles formal linear pair. The measure of one angle is 1/3 the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of each angle. The smaller angle is what and the larger angle is what

Answer 1

form a     not   formal.

 

Linear pair means, in this context, supplementary angles, i.e. their sum is 180 degrees.

 

one is x, other is x/3;  total, (4/3)x = 180.  Can you solve for x?
