(a) An angle measures 51°. What is the measure of its supplement?
(b) An angle measures 27°. What is the measure of its complement?

Answer 1

(a) An angle measures 51°. the measure of its supplement=180-51=129°

b) An angle measures 27°. the measure of its complement=90-27=63°

Answer 2

a - 129

b - 63

Explanation:

for a - supplementary angles add up to equal 180

so to find the measure of its supplement we subtract the given angle from 180 180-51=129

so the measure of a supplement angle is 129

for b - complementary angle add up to equal 90

so to finds the measure of its complement we subtract the given angle from 90

90-27=63

so the measure of its complement is 63
