Answer 1

To determine whether the two angle measurements can be supplementary, we need to check if the measures of angles A and B add up to 180°.

Given:
- m∠A = 37°
- m∠B = 143°

Now we can add the two angle measures:

m∠A + m∠B = 37° + 143° = 180°

Since the sum of the angle measurements is 180°, the two angles are supplementary.

Thus, the correct answer is: **Yes, they are a supplementary pair.**
