Question

Find the supplement of the following angle:
${172}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

Finding the supplementary angle:

1. When the sum of the two angles is equal to ${180}^{\circ }$, the two angles are said to be the supplementary angle.
2. The supplement angle can be found by subtracting the given angle from ${180}^{\circ }$.

Let, the supplementary angle of ${172}^{\circ }$ be x.
$$\begin{gathered} {172}^{\circ }+x={180}^{\circ } \\ x={180}^o-{172}^o \end{gathered}$$
$x=8^{\circ }$
Hence, the supplement angle of ${172}^{\circ }$is $8^{\circ }$.
