Question

Two angles are supplementary. The first angle as 20deg. more than the second angle. How many degrees are in each angle? (Work shown would be greatly appreciated)

Answer 1

*has

Answer 2

Supplementary means 180..

Answer 3

140?

Answer 4

First angle = 20 + Second angle:

20 + Second Angle + Second Angle = 180

2S = 160

Divide both the sides by 2 and find the second angle..

Answer 5

I don't get it. :(

Answer 6

200

Answer 7

Wait, 200 + 180?

Answer 8

See, let the first angle be : x
And other angle be y:

So, first angle = 20 more than Second Angle,

x = 20 + y


Now you know,

x + y = 180

replace x by (20 + y)

(20 + y) + y = 180

2y = 160

Now find y from here..

Answer 9

I still don't get it.

Answer 10

Where you are facing problem??

Answer 11

Just the whole problem...

Answer 12

Let us start from the start..
Let first angle be x and second angle be y..

Getting till here??

Answer 13

Ok,I'm with ya.

Answer 14

Now the relation given in question is:

First Angle = 20 more than Second Angle

Right??

Answer 15

And the 2nd angle is 180?

Answer 16

No....
The sum of the two angles first and second is 180...

Answer 17

Alright.

Answer 18

Is it right??

First Angle(x) = 20 more than Second Angle(y)

x = 20 + y (more than means +)

It is given in question..

Read the question once again...

Got till here??

Answer 19

What is y?

Answer 20

y we assume as second angle..

There are two angles, no??

first is x and second is y (assuming this)..

Answer 21

Yes there's two angles. I have t find out how many degrees are in each angle.

Answer 22

*to

Answer 23

See, have you got the stuff I have given above??

That is:'

x = 20 + y

Till here you got or not??

Answer 24

Ok,I understand.

Answer 25

is y 160,and x is 180?

Answer 26

Now very first statement of your question says Two angles are Supplementary..

It means:

First Angle + Second Angle = 180

Till here you got???

Are you in a hurry to solve this??

Sorry your answer is incorrect...

Answer 27

So just divided 180 by two?
Not really(:

Answer 28

Do you want the solution or just the answer???

Answer 29

The solution,please.

Answer 30

See, the sum of two angle is 180 then how could one angle be 180??

It means other angle is zero?????

Don't be fast..
Go slowly..

See,,

First Angle + Second Angle = 180 (given)
It means :

x + y = 180

Got till here???

Answer 31

So you're saying that x is 180 & y is 0?

Answer 32

I am explaining to you what you said earlier...
Sorry dear you are not responding to my questions clearly instead you are creating questions and confusion of your own..

Answer 33

I'm so confused. D;

Answer 34

Did not you say x = 180 and y = 160

tell me on summing them do you get 180???

Answer 35

I thought that was what it was.

If it was 180 & 160, the sum would've been 340.

Answer 36

See, there are two variables x and y which only can be solved if we have two equations..

Answer 37

Ok,I get you.

Answer 38

What do you mean by this statement "Two angles are supplementary"

tell me..

Answer 39

That's just have the question says.

Answer 40

Yes but I am asking for the meaning of this line???

Answer 41

I think it means that they're the same?

Answer 42

Oh My God..

remember these two lines:

1. Complementary means 90 degrees..

2. Supplementary means 180 degrees..

Do you remember this for lifetime??

Answer 43

Yes

Answer 44

Two angles are supplementary does not mean that they are both of 180...

It means:

SUM OF THE TWO ANGLES = 180

Getting or not??

Answer 45

It means that together they're 180?

Answer 46

Yes they together are of 180..
Now you are getting my point..

For example they can be:

90 + 90
160 + 20
140 + 40
50 + 130

But they together form 180

Getting now???

Answer 47

Yes! :D

Answer 48

Now it will make your first equation:

Given : First Angle + Second Angle = 180

Let first angle be x and Second angle be y

So,

x + y = 180 ----------------------1

Till here you got or not??

Answer 49

I was following you until the "x+y=180 ---------1" part.

Answer 50

I asked did you get this or not??

Answer 51

Part of it.

Answer 52

what that means??

Answer 53

Maybe I could just get the answer?

Answer 54

do you want answer only??

Answer 55

Yeah,I think it'd be better to move onto another question..

Answer 56

Well,it'd be two answers.

Answer 57

Sorry I can't give you answer..
By this you will leave this concept and you are also not able to do problems like these...

Going to sleep..
Good Night dear...

Answer 58

Thanks anyways night.

Answer 59

I just don't wanna fail the test,yenno.

Answer 60

Call @jim_thompson5910 may be he can explain it better than me...

Answer 61

Mhkay,thanks{:

Answer 62

It is just not about the test It is about learning about knowledge...

Answer 63

Can you find me two numbers that satisfy BOTH of the following conditions

A) They add to 180

AND

B) One number is 20 more than the other

???

Answer 64

Clearly 180 and 0 add to 180....BUT...180 is NOT 20 more than 0

So 180 and 0 are NOT the answers

Answer 65

I doubt I'm ever going to have to use this later in life,so whatever.



No. ._.

Answer 66

May God Bless You @Sabreena7898

Answer 67

100 & 80?

Answer 68

You got it

Answer 69

You may use this later in life, you can never say "never"

Answer 70

Do you know how to get the answer in general?

Answer 71

I really don't see where this would come into play,but yes I do.Thanks(:

Answer 72

alright great, and it's hard to see what we'll need down the road, so it doesn't hurt to prepare

Answer 73

You're right there... Thanks again!!!

Answer 74

sure thing
