Question

The measure of an angle is seventeen times the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

supplementary angles are two angles that when add equal 180 degrees.
The supplement of an angle is 180 - n.

n = 17(180 - n)
n = 3060 - 17n
n + 17n = 3060
18n = 3060
n = 3060/18
n = 170

so the unknown angle (n) = 170 degrees and its supplement = (180 - 170 = 10)......= 10 degrees.

Answer 2

The measure of each angle will be 10° and 170°.

A supplementary angle refers to an angle that has the sum to be equal to 180°.

Let the small angle be represented by x

Therefore, the big angle will be: = 17 × x = 17x

Therefore, the value of both angles will be:

x + 17x = 180

18x = 180

Divide both side by 18

18x/18 = 180/18

x = 10

Therefore, the bigger angle will be:

17x = 17 × 10 = 170

Therefore, the angles are 10° and 170°
