Front

What is the measure of an angle if it is complementary to a 70° angle?

Back

The measure of the angle is 20° because complementary angles sum to 90°.

If ∠A and ∠B are supplementary and ∠A measures 45°, what is the measure of ∠B?

Back

∠B measures 135° because 180° - 45° = 135°.

What is the measure of an angle if it is the exterior angle of a triangle and the two remote interior angles measure 30° and 50°?

Back

The exterior angle measures 80° because it is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.
