Question

∠PQR and ∠ABC are supplementary angles and ∠PQR is three times as large as ∠ABC. Determine the measure of each angle. Students must show all work step by step to receive full credit for the problem.

Answer 1

Challenging Problem!

Answer 2

the angles don't share a common vertex or ray.... so aren't adjacent... which makes the supplementary argument a bit difficult.

here is a simple solution



so 3x + x = 180

solve for x

Answer 3

90

Answer 4

x-90?

Answer 5

=

Answer 6

can you simplify 3x + x

Answer 7

Not at all.

Answer 8

ok.... well good luck with the question. Ask your teacher to draw the diagram for this question...

Answer 9

Are you helping me?

Answer 10

well if you can't simplify algebra... you'll need to use guess and check.... and you don't need help for that

Answer 11

Okay.
