two angles are supplementary one is 30 little circle above the 30 more than four times the other find the measure of the angles
what is the measure of the smaller angle and what is measure of the larger angle
Little circle above is the symbol for degree or degrees which is a unit used to measure angles. So you're trying to say: "Two angles are supplementary. One is 30 degrees more than four times the other, Find the measure of the angles." Is this correct?
yes
Then let x equal measure of smaller angle. The other angle is 30 degrees more than 4 times x. How would you represent that with x?
30 + 4x
Correct. Do you know what supplementary angles means?
no
Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.
Now you know three things: The measure of smaller angle is x The measure of larger angle is 30 + 4x The sum of the measures is 180 Can you represent that sum using the info above?
30+4x=180
if that is true then 4x=150
almost, one angle is x the other 30 + 4x the sum of those two things equals 180
30 + 4x is the larger angle. That does not equal 180
so it woud be angle one = x angle two = 30+4x
so x +30 +4x = 180
correct
30 +5x=180 5x=150 x = 30
Correct. That's the measure of the smaller angle. Now what's the measure of the larger one?
so one angle 150 and the other is 30
you got it
thanks math you made me do the work but gave me the steps to do it i work and retain better that way apperciate it
you're welcome
