To determine whether the angles \( m\angle A = 37^\circ \) and \( m\angle B = 143^\circ \) can be supplementary, we need to check if their sum is 180°.
Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180°.
Let's add the given angle measurements:
\[ 37^\circ + 143^\circ = 180^\circ \]
Since the sum of \( m\angle A \) and \( m\angle B \) is 180°, the two angle measurements can indeed be supplementary.
Therefore, the correct response is:
**Yes, they are a supplementary pair.**
