Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees. Since you know
that the measure of one of the angles is 46 degrees, what must be the measure of the other
angle?
.
You can solve this with the equation:
.
Measure angle A + Measure angle B = 180 degrees
.
Call the Measure of angle A 46 degrees. This makes the equation become:
.
46 degrees + Measure angle B = 180 degrees
.
Subtract 46 degrees from both sides of this equation and the equation reduces to:
.
Measure angle B = 180 degrees - 46 degrees = 134 degrees.
.
So the measure of an angle that is supplementary to 46 degrees is 134 degrees.
.
Hope this helps you to understand this problem and to work other problems like this one.
