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: \(x=180^{\circ}- 8^{\circ}\).

Answer:

\(172^{\circ}\)
