Given:

Two angle measures 35 degree and 57 degree.

Required:

Solve part A and part B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are called complementary when their measures add to 90 degrees. Two angles are called supplementary when their measures add up to 180 degrees.

So,


\begin{gathered} \text{ Complementary angles add to }90^(\circ). \\ 35+?=90 \\ =55 \\ \text{ Complement measure }55^(\circ). \end{gathered}

and


\begin{gathered} \text{ Supplementary angles add up to }180^(\circ). \\ 57+?=180 \\ =123^(\circ) \\ \text{ Supplement measure }123^(\circ). \end{gathered}
