Two angles are supplementary. The measure of one of the angles is 37 degrees. What is the measure if the second angle?

Answer 1

If two angles are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees. Let x be the measure of the second angle. Then:

37 degrees + x = 180 degrees

Solving for x, we subtract 37 degrees from both sides:

x = 180 degrees - 37 degrees

x = 143 degrees

Therefore, the measure of the second angle is 143 degrees.
