Question

An angle measures 112º more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the

measure of each angle?

Answer 1

The angles measure 34 degrees and 146 degrees.

Explanation:

The supplement measures x.

The angle measures x + 112.

The measures of supplementary angles have a sum of 180 deg.

x + 112 + x = 180

2x + 112 = 180

2x = 68

x = 34

x + 112 = 146

The angles measure 34 degrees and 146 degrees.
