Question

I reallly need this for school tomorrow. Can u please show me how u did this and provide with the answer.

If 2 supplementary angles are in the ratio 8:1 ,

how many degress in the measure of the smaller angle.?

THANKYOU SO MUCH

Answer 1

First you set up a proportion    8 over 1 equal to 180 over "X".

when you solve all that the answer would be   22.5 Degrees.
