Two angles form a linear pair.

The measure of one angle is 4 times the measure of the other angle.

Find the measure of each angle.

Hey, Olivia Pi......!!!!

 

Let one angle  = x   and the other  = 4x

 

And a linear  pair sums to 180 degrees

 

So we have

 

x +  4x   = 180    simplify

 

5x  =  180    divide both sides by 5

 

x = 36    this is the smaller angle

 

And   4(36)   =  144    this is the larger angle
