Answer:

a 170 degree angle

Explanation:

Definition of a supplement: Two angles are supplements of each other when adding them together gets 180 degrees.

So 50° and 130° are supplements

90° and 90° are supplements

10° and 170° are supplements

Therefore, to find the supplement of a 5° angle, we have to see what we can add to it to get 180°.

In other words, what's 180° - 5°?

180° - 5° = 170°

so 170° is our answer!

For example, in your problem, 90°-85°=5°. This means that the complement of 85° is 5°, since they add up to equal 90 degrees a right angle. The supplement of an angle is what, when added to it, equals 180 degrees
