Question 222799
If the complement of angle D is 27 degrees, then what is the measure of the supplement  of angle D


Step 1.  Complementary angles means two angles add up to 90 degrees.


Step 2.  Let D be the angle and 90-D be its complement.


Step 3.  27+D=90 or D=90-27=63


Step 4.  Supplementary angles means two angles add up to 180 degrees.


Step 5.  Let 180-D be the supplementary angle of D or 180-63=117


Step 6.  ANSWER:  The supplementary angle of D is 117 degrees.


I hope the above steps were helpful.
