Supplementary angles are the ones that when you add them, the result is 180°.

Let's call the angle we are looking for "x", since it is supplementary to the angle of 19°, they add up to 180°:


x+19=180

From this equation, we can solve to find the supplementary angle x.

We solve for x by subtracting 19 to both sides of the equation:


\begin{gathered} x+19-19=180-19 \\ x=161 \end{gathered}

Answer: 161°
