for angle 32°20' the complement is
90°-(32°20')......take on degree from 90° and convert in minutes

(89°60')-(32°20')...now subtract degrees from degrees and minutes from minutes

(89°-32°)(60'-20')
57°40'
supplement
180°-(32°20')......take on degree from 180° and convert in minutes

(179°60')-(32°20')...now subtract degrees from degrees and minutes from minutes

(179°-32°)(60'-20')
147°40'

Find the complement and supplement of an angle with the given measure.
32°20'
I got C: 57° 80'
-------------------
I don't know what C is, but
90 - 32°20' = 57° 40' (there are 60' per degree)
-----
The supplement is the complement + 90
