Question

the measure of an angle is 16°. what is the measure of its supplementary angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall supplementary - angle definition

Supplementary angles add up to 180°.
Let the given angle be $\alpha = 16^{\circ}$ and its supplementary angle be $\beta$. Then $\alpha+\beta = 180^{\circ}$.

Step2: Solve for the supplementary angle

$\beta=180^{\circ}-\alpha$.
Substitute $\alpha = 16^{\circ}$ into the formula: $\beta = 180 - 16$.
$\beta=164^{\circ}$

Answer:

$164$
