To determine if angles A and B can be supplementary, we need to see if their measures add up to 180 degrees. Given:
Now, we can add the two angle measures:
m∠A + m∠B = 37° + 143° = 180°
Since the sum of the angles A and B equals 180°, they are supplementary angles.
Thus, the correct response is:
Yes, they are a supplementary pair.
