Answer:

The fourth choice

24.2° and 114.2°

Explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90°

Supplementary angles add up to 180°

*a trick to remember this is to know that C is before S in the alphabet, and 90 is before 180, so Complementary is 90 and Supplementary is 180

Step 1: Find the complementary angle

Take 90° and subtract the give angle to find the angle you would need...

90° - 65.8° = 24.2°

Step 1: Find the supplementary angle

Take 180° and subtract the give angle to find the angle you would need...

180° - 65.8° = 114.2°
