1. The problem states that two adjacent angles, \(\angle A\) and \(\angle B\), have a ratio of 1:5 and that \(\angle B > \angle A\). We need to find the measures of these angles.
2. Since the angles are adjacent and form a straight line, their sum is \(180^\circ\). So, \(\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ\).
3. Let \(\angle A = x\). Then \(\angle B = 5x\) because the ratio is 1:5.
4. Substitute into the sum equation:
$$x + 5x = 180$$
5. Simplify:
$$6x = 180$$
6. Solve for \(x\):
$$x = \frac{180}{6}$$
$$x = 30$$
7. Therefore, \(\angle A = 30^\circ\) and \(\angle B = 5 \times 30 = 150^\circ\).
8. Check that \(\angle B > \angle A\) and that their sum is \(180^\circ\), which is true.
Final answer:
\(\angle A = 30^\circ\), \(\angle B = 150^\circ\).
