Question

find the measure of the complement and the supplement of 8°. what is the measure of the complement of 8°? 82° what is the measure of the supplement of 8°? □°

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for supplement

The sum of an angle and its supplement is \(180^{\circ}\). Let the supplement of \(8^{\circ}\) be \(x\). Then \(x + 8^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(8^{\circ}\) from both sides of the equation \(x+8^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\). So \(x = 180^{\circ}-8^{\circ}\).

$$x=172^{\circ}$$

Answer:

\(172\)
