Question

Find measures of complementary, supplementary, vertical, and adjacent angles VZ
The measure of an angle is nine times the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the
measure of each angle

Answer 1

Answer:

The measure of the angle is 150°, the measure of its supplementary is 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The measure of the given angle = 5 × The measure of its supplementary angle

Let "x" represent the given angle, and let "y" represent its supplementary angle, we have;

x = 5 × y...(1)

x + y = 180°...(2)

By substituting the value of x = 5 × y, from the first equation into the second equation, we have;

x + y = 180°

x + y = 5 × y + y = 5·y +  y = 6·y = 180°

y = 180°/6 = 30°

y = 30°

x = 5 × y = 5 × 30° = 150°

x = 150°

The measure of the angle = x = 150°, the measure of its supplementary = y = 30°.
