Calculate the supplement of an angle that measures 85°

Question

• (1 point)
The supplement of the angle is 85°
• because supplementary angles are congruent.
• The supplement of the angle is 5°
because 90° - 85° = 5°
The supplement of the angle is
• -95° because
85° - 180° =-95°
The supplement is 95° because
180° - 85° = 95°

Answer 1

The correct answer is: The supplement is 95° because 180° - 85° = 95°.

Supplementary angles sum up to 180°. Therefore, to find the supplement of an angle measuring 85°, you subtract 85° from 180°:

180° - 85° = 95°.

So, the supplement of the angle is 95°.
