Answer:

60°

120°

Explanation:

Supplementary angle are those that sum up to a total of 180 degrees.

So, let's have 2 angles, angle A and angle B.

Angle A's measure is α so the measure of angle B is 2α.

The sum of these two angles sum up to 180 degrees, so we can say that:

α + 2α = 180°

3α = 180°

α = 60°

So, one of our angles is 60° and the other is (2*60)° which is 120°.
