The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the properties of supplementary angles and the given relationship between angle A and angle B. ### Step 1: Understand the property of supplementary angles Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to 180 degrees. Therefore, we can write: \[ \text{angle A} + \text{angle B} = 180^\circ \] ### Step 2: Set up the equation from the given relationship We are also given that: \[ 4 \cdot \text{angle A} = 5 \cdot \text{angle B} \] From this, we can express angle A in terms of angle B: \[ \text{angle A} = \frac{5}{4} \cdot \text{angle B} \] ### Step 3: Substitute angle A in the supplementary angle equation Now, we will substitute the expression for angle A into the supplementary angle equation: \[ \frac{5}{4} \cdot \text{angle B} + \text{angle B} = 180^\circ \] ### Step 4: Combine like terms To combine the terms on the left side, we can express angle B as a fraction: \[ \frac{5}{4} \cdot \text{angle B} + \frac{4}{4} \cdot \text{angle B} = 180^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{9}{4} \cdot \text{angle B} = 180^\circ \] ### Step 5: Solve for angle B To isolate angle B, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \(\frac{9}{4}\): \[ \text{angle B} = 180^\circ \cdot \frac{4}{9} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{angle B} = 80^\circ \] ### Step 6: Find angle A Now that we have angle B, we can find angle A using the supplementary angle property: \[ \text{angle A} = 180^\circ - \text{angle B} \] Substituting the value of angle B: \[ \text{angle A} = 180^\circ - 80^\circ = 100^\circ \] ### Final Answer Thus, the measures of the angles are: - \( \text{angle A} = 100^\circ \) - \( \text{angle B} = 80^\circ \) ---
