Question

What is a suplementayry angle for 87 degrees?

Answer 1

Hi there!

We are asked to find the supplement of 87.

To do this, recall that the sum of two supplementary angles is 180 degrees. With this in mind, we can set up an equation to find the missing angle.

Let this missing angle be y.

Then, the equation is:

y + 87 = 180

To find y, subtract 87 from both sides:

y = 180 - 87

y = 93

Therefore, y = 93.

Answer 2

93°

Explanation:

The sum of the measures of two supplementary angles is 180°.

The supplement of a 87° angle has a measure that when added to 87° makes 180°.

Let the measure of the supplement be x.

x + 87° = 180°

Subtract 87° from both sides.

x = 180° - 87°

x = 97°

Answer: 93°
