Recall that the supplement of an angle is another angle such that the sum of both angles is equal to 180°. The complement of an angle is another angle such that the sum of both angles is equal to 90°.

Now, the supplement of a 151° angle is:


180^(\circ)-151^(\circ)=29^(\circ).

The complement of the above angle is:


90^(\circ)-29^(\circ)=61^(\circ).

Answer:


61^(\circ).
