Q. The ratio of the measure of two supplementary angles is 14:4. Find the measure of each angle.
Understand the problem: Step 1: Understand the problem and set up the equation.Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. The ratio of the angles is 14:4, which simplifies to 7:2. Let's denote the larger angle as 7x and the smaller angle as 2x.Equation: 7x+2x=180
Solve for x: Step 2: Solve for x.Combine like terms: 9x=180Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x: x=9180x=20
Find angle measures: Step 3: Find the measures of the angles.Larger angle = 7x=7×20=140 degreesSmaller angle = 2x=2×20=40 degrees
