Determine whether the two angle measurements can be supplementary if mA = 37 degrees and mB = 143 degrees. What is the reasoning behind the answer?

Question

A. No, they do not add up to 180 degrees.
B. No, they are not adjacent.
C. Yes, they are a supplementary pair.
D. No, they do not add up to 90 degrees.

Answer 1

A. No, they do not add up to 180 degrees.

The sum of the measures of two angles is supplementary if they add up to 180 degrees. In this case, 37 degrees + 143 degrees = 180 degrees, so the angles are supplementary.
