Question

find the measure of the complement and the supplement of 2°. what is the measure of the complement of 2°? what is the measure of the supplement of 2°?

Explanation:

Step1: Find the complement

Complementary angles sum to \(90^{\circ}\).
Let the complement be \(x\). Then \(x + 2^{\circ}=90^{\circ}\), so \(x = 90^{\circ}-2^{\circ}\).

Step2: Find the supplement

Supplementary angles sum to \(180^{\circ}\).
Let the supplement be \(y\). Then \(y + 2^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\), so \(y = 180^{\circ}-2^{\circ}\).

Answer:

The measure of the complement of \(2^{\circ}\) is \(88^{\circ}\).
The measure of the supplement of \(2^{\circ}\) is \(178^{\circ}\).
