Since the two angles form a linear pair, the sum of their angles is equal to 180°. The condition given in the problem is that one angle is one-third of the other angle, or simply speaking, one angle is three times more than the other angle. We find the values of the angles by dividing the sum of the angles by 4 and assigning 3 and 1 times the dividend.

180°/4 = 45°

By obtaining the dividend, we obtain the values of the angles to be 45° and 135°.
