Question 93525: The measure of an angle's supplement is 44 less than the measure of the angle. Find the measure of the angle and its supplement. Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a+b=180
a=b-44 now substitute (b-44) for a & solve for b:
(b-44)+b=180
b-44+b=180
2b=180+44
2b=224
b=224/2
b=112 for the larger angle.
112-44=68 for the smaller angle
proof
112+68=180
180=180
