If two angles are supplementary and one of the angles measures 38°, what is the measure of the larger angle?
Two supplementary angles add up to 180°. So the measure of the angle supplementary to 38° is 142°.
Answer:
The larger angle is \(142\) degree
Explanation:
The sum of supplementary angle is \(180\) degree.
Given
Angle \(A = 38\) degree
Let the other angle be "B"
Angle \(A +\)Angle \(B\)\(= 180\)degree
\(38 + B = 180\\B = 180 - 38\\B = 142\) degree
The larger angle is \(142\) degree.
