Two supplementary angles differ by 48- Find the angles-

Let first angle = x Then second angle = x+48^∘ ∴ x + x+48^∘= 180^∘⇒ 2x+48^∘=180^∘ ⇒ 2x=180^∘ 48^∘=132^∘ x=132^∘/2=66^∘ ∴ First angle = 66^∘ and second angle ...

Solution

Let first angle = x
Then second angle = $x + 48^{\circ}$
$∴ x + x + 48^{\circ} = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow 2 x + 48^{\circ} = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow 2 x = 180^{\circ} - 48^{\circ} = 132^{\circ} x = \frac{132^{\circ}}{2} = 66^{\circ}$
$∴$ First angle = $66^{\circ}$ and second angle = $x + 48^{\circ} = 66^{\circ} + 48^{\circ} = 114^{\circ}$
$∴$ Angles are $66^{\circ}, 114^{\circ}$
