Question

Are the angles supplementary if measure of angle A = 98 degrees and the measure of angle B = 88 degrees?

a. no, they are not adjacent
b. no, they do not add up to 180 degrees
c. no, they do not add up to 90 degrees
d. yes, they are a supplementary pair

Answer 1

To determine if angles A and B are supplementary, we need to check if their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Given:
- Measure of angle A = 98 degrees
- Measure of angle B = 88 degrees

Now, adding the two angles:

98 degrees + 88 degrees = 186 degrees

Since the sum of the measures of angles A and B is 186 degrees, which does not equal 180 degrees, they are not supplementary.

Thus, the correct answer is:

**b. no, they do not add up to 180 degrees**.
