Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A line from top left to bottom right intersects two parallel lines that extend from bottom left to top right. The intersection with the first parallel line is labeled A. The intersection with the second parallel line is labeled B.

Determine whether the two angle measurements can be supplementary if m∠A=37°
and m∠B=143°
. What is the reasoning behind the answer?

Answer 1

Yes — they are supplementary. 37° + 143° = 180°, and for two parallel lines cut by a transversal the same-side (consecutive) interior angles sum to 180°, so the pair is supplementary.
