Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.
.
You are told that the measure of one of the two angles is 110 degrees. Therefore, the measure
of the other angle must be:
.
180 - 110 = 70 degrees.
.
So the measures of the two angles are 110 degrees (given in the problem) and 70 degrees
(needed to make the sum of the two measures equal 180 degrees).
.
Hope this helps you to understand the concept of supplementary angles.
