Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angle is 2/3 the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of each angle

Answer:

108° and 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

let one angle be x then the other angle is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x

the sum of the 2 angles = 180°, hence

x + [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x = 180 ( combining the left side )

[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] x = 180

multiply both sides by 3 then divide both sides by 5

5x = 540 ⇒ x = 108

the 2 angles are x = 108° and [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x = 72°
