The reasoning behind this answer is that supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees. In this case, angle A measures 37 degrees and angle B measures 143 degrees. If we add these two angles together, we get 37 + 143 = 180 degrees, so they do not add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, they cannot be supplementary angles.
