Question

an angle measures 101.4 less then the measure of supplementary angles. what is the measure of each angle

Answer 1

Answer:

39.3°, 140.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

supplementary angles means that together they have 180°.

so, when we have 2 angles, x and y.

x + y = 180

x = y - 101.4

using the second equation in the first

y - 101.4 + y = 180

2y - 101.4 = 180

2y = 281.4

y = 281.4/2 = 140.7°

x = y - 101.4 = 140.7 - 101.4 = 39.3°

so, the starting angle is 39.3°, and every supplementary angle is then 140.7°.
