Answer: The measure of it's supplement is 4°
Step-by-step explanation:
If an angle is 44 times is supplement, then we can represent it by the equation x = 44y where x is the angle and y is it's supplement.
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, meaning that x + y = 180.
x = 44y
x + y = 180
Using both equations substitute the value for x in the first equation, into the second equation and solve for y.
44y + y = 180 Combine like terms on the left side
45y = 180 Divide both sides 45
y = 4
This means the measure of it's supplement is 4 degrees.
Now input 4 into one of the equations for y and solve for x to find the main angle.
x = 44(4)
x = 176
This also means that the angle itself is 176 degrees.
