Answer:

93 degrees

Explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, the equation for finding the supplementary angle to 87 would be:


87 + x = 180\\x=180-87\\x=93

Have a nice day. Feel free to ask questions. Spread the love.

Answer:

180-87 = 93

Explanation:

supplementary angles add up to 180°

so (the other angle + 87)=180°

other angle =180-87=93°
