Two supplementary angles are in the ratio 2:3 . Find the angles
Let the two supplementary angles be Angle A and Angle B.
Ratio of Angle A's share to B's share = 2:3
Sum of ratio terms = 2 + 3 = 5
Angle A's share = 2/5 x180o [SUM OF SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES]
= 2 X 36o
= 72o
Angle B's share = 3/5 x 180o [SUM OF SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES]
= 3 x 36o
= 108o
THEREFORE THE TWO SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES IN THE RATIO 2:3 ARE 72o , 108o .
