Question

The picture shows the Alamillo bridge in Seville, Spain. In the picture m<1=58 and m<2=24. Find the measure of the supplement of <1= and of <2. Someone please help!

Answer 1

Supplement of <1 = 122°

Supplement of <2 = 156°

Explanation:

Two pairs of angles are said to be supplementary, if their measures in degrees add up to give us 180°. A supplement of am angle is simply 180° - the measure of that angle.

Given that meadure of angle 1 = 58°, the supplement of angle 1 = 180° - 58° = 122°

Also, if the measure of angle 2 = 24°, the supplement of angle 2 = 180° - 24° = 156°.

Thus:

Supplement of <1 = 122°

Supplement of <2 = 156°
