Question
If two supplementary angles are in the ratio 2 : 7, find them.

Answer

Ratio between two supplementary angles $=2: 7$
Let the angles be $2 x$ and $7 x$
$ \therefore 2 \mathrm{x}+7 \mathrm{x}=180^{\circ} $
$ \Rightarrow 9 x=180^{\circ} $
$ \Rightarrow x=\frac{180^{\circ}}{9}=20^{\circ} $
$\therefore$ First Angle is $2 \mathrm{x}=2 \times 20^{\circ}=40^{\circ}$
Second Angle is $7 \mathrm{x}=7 \times 20^{\circ}=140^{\circ}$
