Angle 1 and angle 2 are supplementary. If the measure of angle 1 is 63 degrees, what is the measure of angle 2? *
a. 27
b. 63
c. 117
d. 153

Respuesta :

Answer:

(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180°.

[tex]180 - 63 = 117[/tex]

m∠2 = 117

[tex]117 + 63 = 180[/tex]

(C) is correct.

The measure of angle 2 is 117°.

Supplementary Angles:

If the sum of two angles is 180°, then both the angles are said to be supplementary angles. i.e. ∠1 + ∠2 = 180°.

How to solve the given question?

  • As two angles are supplementary,
    ∴ ∠1 + ∠2 = 180°
    ∴ 63° + ∠2 = 180°
    ∴ ∠2 = 180° - 63°
    ∴ ∠2 = 117°

Thus, the measure of angle 2 is 117°. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer

Why other options are incorrect?

As the other options do not satisfy the condition to be supplementary i.e  ∠1 + ∠2 = 180° ⇒ 63° + ∠2 = 180°, hence are incorrect options.
