Question

If two angles are supplementary and one of the angles measures 38°, what is the measure of the larger angle?

Answer 1

Two supplementary angles add up to 180°. So the measure of the angle supplementary to 38° is 142°.

Answer 2

The larger angle is
`142` degree

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of supplementary angle is
`180` degree.

Given

Angle
`A = 38` degree

Let the other angle be "B"

Angle
`A +`Angle
`B`
`= 180`degree

`38 + B = 180\\B = 180 - 38\\B = 142` degree

The larger angle is
`142` degree.
