The angle measures 36°, 62°, 118°, and 144° are written on slips of paper. You choose two slips of paper at random.

What is the probability that the angle measures are supplementary? Enter your answer as a fraction.

1/4 would be the answer. Let me explain why first. You have in total 4 numbers with different out comes when added together. So your equation will start out as 4² = 16 out of the 16 different factors you have 4 sets that equal 180°. Your new fraction would be 4/16 which can be divided by 4 to equal 1/4. Hopes that helps!
