Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees. Since you know
\n" ); document.write( "that the measure of one of the angles is 46 degrees, what must be the measure of the other
\n" ); document.write( "angle?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You can solve this with the equation:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Measure angle A + Measure angle B = 180 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Call the Measure of angle A 46 degrees. This makes the equation become:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "46 degrees + Measure angle B = 180 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 46 degrees from both sides of this equation and the equation reduces to:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Measure angle B = 180 degrees - 46 degrees = 134 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So the measure of an angle that is supplementary to 46 degrees is 134 degrees.
