An angle measures 15.2° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

An angle measures 15.2° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

First, we need to keep in mind that supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. So we can use m for the measure of the first angle, and m+15.2 for the measure of the other angle.

m+m+15.2=180

Solve for m. Then, solve for m+15.2 and this will give you the measure of each angle.

Answer 2

Call one angle x. The other is 15.2° more, so it is x + 15.2°. Supplementary angles sum to 180°:

x + x + 15.2° = 180°

Solve for x. One angle is x, the other x + 15.2. Units are degrees.
