Answer:

the angle measures 59.9°, and its supplementary angle measures 180° - 59.9° = 120.1°.

Explanation:

Let x be the measure of the angle we are trying to find.

By definition of supplementary angles, we know that the angle's supplementary angle measures 180° - x.

We are also given that the angle measures 120.2° less than its supplementary angle. This can be written as:

x = (180° - x) - 120.2°

Simplifying the equation, we get:

x = 59.9°

Therefore, the angle measures 59.9°, and its supplementary angle measures 180° - 59.9° = 120.1°.
