Question

An angle measures 157.2° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Two supplementary angles equal 180 degrees

Subtract the difference from 180:

180-157.2 = 22.8

Divide by 2:

22.8 /2 = 11.4

One angle is 11.4

Now add the difference to 11.4

11.4 + 157.2 = 168.6

The second angle is 168.6

Answer: 11.4 and 168.6
