Question

An angle measures 53°. What are the measures of the angle's complement and supplement.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) complement, 37°, supplement, 127°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that complementary angles add to 90 degrees

x+53 =90

Subtract 53 from each side

x+53-53=90-53

x = 37

We know that supplementary angles add to 180

x+53 =180

Subtract 53 from each side

x+53-53= 180-53

x = 127
