Problem 41 - Introductory Algebra for College Students

Question

Find the measure of the supplement of each angle. $$132^{\circ}$$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The supplement of the angle 132° is 48°.

Step 1: Definition of Supplementary Angles

The supplement of an angle is the angle which, when added to the original angle, makes a straight line or 180°.

Step 2: Find the Supplement

Given the angle is 132°, subtract this from 180° to find the supplement: 180° - 132°

Step 3: Calculation

Perform the subtraction to find the supplement: 180° - 132° = 48°
