Let the smaller angle be
[tex]=x[/tex]
The larger angle is 4 times bigger than the smaller angle means
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{larger angle =y} \\ \text{Therefore,} \\ y=4\times x \\ y=4x \end{gathered}[/tex]
Concept:
The sum of two or more angles on a straight line is always 180°
Therefore,
[tex]x+y=180^0[/tex]
By substituting the value of y=4x in the equation above, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+4x=180^0 \\ 5x=180^0 \\ \text{divide both sides by 5} \\ \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{180^0}{5} \\ x=36^0 \end{gathered}[/tex]
substitute the value of x= 36° in y=4x to find the value of the bigger angle
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x \\ \text{when x=36} \\ y=4\times36 \\ y=144^0 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence,
The larger angle is =144 °
