Question

Find the measures of the supplementary angles that satisfy each case.

Answer 1

Answer:

67.5°, 107.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

For supplementary angles, their sum equals 180°.

Let x be the first angle and y be the second angle, then

x + y = 180°.

It is given that x = y + 45°.

So x + y = 180°

substituting x into the equation, we have

y + 45° + y = 180°

simplifying, we have

2y + 45° = 180°

collecting like terms, we have

2y = 180° - 45°

2y = 135°

dividing through by 2, we have

y = 135°/2

y = 67.5°

Since y = 67.5°

then x = y + 45°

x = 67.5° + 45°

x = 107.5°
