The measure of an angle is seventy-one times the measure of a supplementary angle. what is the measure of each angle?

Let the smallest angle = x

Then the larger one = 71x

Supplementary angles are always equal to 180o

x + 71x = 180o Add the left side

72x = 180 Divide by 72

x = 180/72

x = 2.5

The smallest angle = 2.5 degrees

The largest angle = 2.5 * 71

The largest angle= 177.5 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
