Respuesta :
two supplementary angles have a ratio of 2:4 (or 1:2) reduced
supplementary angle = 180°
s = a angle (2), as 2s = (4) in the ratio
s + 2s = 180
3s = 180
isolate the s
3s/3 = 180/3
s = 180/3
s = 60
2s = 2(60) = 120
The measurement of the smaller angle is 60°, while the larger is 120°
hope this helps

The way to handle this is to realize that the 180 degree angle (the two supplementary angles added together to make 180o by definition) is actually divided into 6 parts. There are 2 parts for the smaller angle and 4 for the larger.
Added together the 2 angles = 180
Equation
Let one of the 6 parts = x
2x + 4 x = 180
Solve
2x + 4x = 180 Add the like terms on the left together.
6x = 180 Divide by 6
x = 180/6
x = 30
Answer
Since one angle is 2 parts (the smaller angle)
2 * 30 = 60
And the larger angle is
4 * 30 = 120
The two angles are
60,120 <<<< answer.
Further comment.
The two angles are supplementary 60 + 120 = 180
One angle is twice as big as the other. 2*60 = 120
