Detailed Solution

Among two supplementary angles, the measure of the larger angle is 36° more than the measure of the smaller. The measure of the smaller angle is 72°.
Given among two supplementary angles, the measure of the larger angle is 36° more than the measure of the smaller.
Let the larger angle = x.
As the angle is supplementary, therefore, the other angle is 180 – x.
Now according to the question,
180x ° + 36 ° = x °    216=2x  
x=108    The larger angle = 108°.
Now smaller angle is,
= 108 – 36
= 72  
The smaller angle is 72°.
