Recall that supplementary angles must have a sum of 180 degrees. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the angle we are looking for :
\n" ); document.write( "Since x and 83 are supplementary, we know that:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B83=180\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=180-83\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=97\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the measure of the other angle is 97 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "
