1. Stating the problem: We have two adjacent angles \(\angle A\) and \(\angle B\) such that \(\angle B > \angle A\) and their ratio is \(1:14\). We need to find the measures of \(\angle A\) and \(\angle B\). 2. Important rule: Adjacent angles formed by a straight line sum up to 180 degrees. So, \(\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ\). 3. Let \(\angle A = x\). Then \(\angle B = 14x\) because the ratio is 1:14. 4. Using the sum of adjacent angles: $$x + 14x = 180$$ $$15x = 180$$ 5. Solve for \(x\): $$x = \frac{180}{15}$$ $$x = 12$$ 6. Calculate \(\angle B\): $$\angle B = 14x = 14 \times 12 = 168$$ 7. Final answer: \(\angle A = 12^\circ\) \(\angle B = 168^\circ\)
