Supplementary angles is when 2 angles add up to 180 degrees.

We will name the smaller angle a and the bigger angle b.

therefore:

b - 172.6 = a

a + b = 180

Now we substitute:

a + b = 180
b - 172.6 + b = 180
2b - 172.6 = 180
2b = 352.6
b = 176.3

To find a:

a + b = 180
a + 176.3 = 180
a = 3.7

Therefore,

angle a = 3.7 degrees
angle b = 176.3 degrees.

Hope it helps and have a great day ahead
