Sally and Suzie both agree that m∠A + m∠B = 180⁰.

Sally claims ∠A and ∠B are supplementary.

Suzie claims ∠A and ∠B are not supplementary because they are not adjacent.

Who is correct?

Answer:

Sally is correct in claiming that
\angle A and
\angle B are supplementary.

Explanation:

Supplementary angles are angles that add up to
180^(\circ). Whether they are adjacent or not is irrelevant to whether they are supplementary. Since
70+110=180, angles
\angle A and
\angle B are supplementary.

I think Suzie is correct because the angles are separated from each other thus cannot be supplementary
