Answer 1

To determine whether the two angle measurements can be supplementary, we need to check if they add up to 180°.

You provided the measurements:
- m∠A = 37°
- m∠B = 143°

Now, let's add these two angles together:

m∠A + m∠B = 37° + 143° = 180°

Since the sum of angles A and B is 180°, they are supplementary angles.

Thus, the correct response is:

**Yes, they are a supplementary pair.**
