Question

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


The smaller angle measures =?

The larger angle measures =?

Answer 1

Answer:

The smaller angle measures = 60º

The larger angle measures = 120º

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in linear pair is 180

The measure of one angle is twice the measure of the other angle.

x + 2x = 180

Combine like terms

3x = 180

Divide both sides by 3

x = 60º

2x = 120º
