Answer

36∘\text{36}^\circ

144∘\text{144}^\circ

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Define the unknown angles.

    Let the smaller angle be xx.
    Let the larger angle be yy.

  2. Formulate equations based on the problem statement.

    The problem states that the larger angle is four times bigger than the smaller angle:

    y=4xy = 4x

    The diagram shows two angles on a straight line, which means they are supplementary. Their sum is 180∘180^\circ:

    x+y=180∘x + y = 180^\circ
  3. Substitute the first equation into the second equation.

    Substitute y=4xy = 4x into x+y=180∘x + y = 180^\circ:

    x+4x=180∘x + 4x = 180^\circ
  4. Solve for xx.

    Combine like terms:

    5x=180∘5x = 180^\circ

    Divide by 5:

    x=180∘5x = \frac{180^\circ}{5} x=36∘x = 36^\circ
  5. Solve for yy.

    Use the relationship y=4xy = 4x:

    y=4×36∘y = 4 \times 36^\circ y=144∘y = 144^\circ

    The two unknown angles are 36∘36^\circ and 144∘144^\circ.

    The smaller angle is 36∘\boxed{\text{36}^\circ}.
    The larger angle is 144∘\boxed{\text{144}^\circ}.
