If one angle measures 120 degrees, what is the measure of its supplementary angle?

Back

The measure of its supplementary angle is 60 degrees (180 - 120 = 60).

If two angles are adjacent and one measures 45 degrees, what is the maximum measure the other angle can have if they are supplementary?

Back

The maximum measure the other angle can have is 135 degrees (180 - 45 = 135).
