If two angles are supplementary, it means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees. Therefore, if m∠b = 121°, then m∠a can be found by subtracting 121° from 180°:
m∠a = 180° - 121° = 59°
m∠a = 180° - 121° = 59°
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?
