Question

An angle measures 56° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

62,118

Explanation:

Let one angle = x

So, other angle = x +56

x +x +56 = 180 {Combine like terms}

2x + 5 6 = 180 {Subtract 56 form both sides}

2x = 180 - 56

2x = 124 {Divide both sides by 2}

x = 124/2

x = 62

Other angle = 62 + 56 = 118
