Question

an angle measures 176 degrees more than the measure of its supplementary angle. what is the measure of each angle

Answer 1

One angle measures 178º, and the other measures 2º.

Explanation:

Given that an angle measures 176 degrees more than the measure of its supplementary angle, to determine what is the measure of each angle, the following calculation must be performed, knowing that the sum between two complementary angles gives 180º:

(180 - 176) / 2 = X

4/2 = X

2 = X

180 - 2 = 178

Thus, one angle measures 178º, and the other measures 2º.
