Question

The larger of two supplementary angles exceeds the smaller by 22 degrees. What is the smaller angle?

• A. 89^o
• B. 49^o
• C. 79^o
• D. 69^o

Answer 1

The correct option is C

79^o

Let the smaller angle = x

Then , the larger angle = x + 22^o

x + x + 22^o = 180^o

2 x + 22^o = 180^o

2x = 158^o

x = 79^o
