an angle measures 47 degrees. what are the measures of the angle complement and supplement?
a complement 43 degrees supplement 133 degrees
b complement 133 degrees supplement 43 degrees
c complement 53 degrees supplement 143
d complement 143 degrees supplement 53 degrees
a complement 43 degrees supplement 133 degrees
To find the measures of the angle complement and supplement, we need to know that the sum of the measure of an angle and its complement is 90 degrees, and the sum of the measure of an angle and its supplement is 180 degrees.
Given that the angle measures 47 degrees, we can calculate the complement by subtracting the angle's measure from 90 degrees:
Complement = 90 degrees - 47 degrees = 43 degrees
To calculate the supplement, we subtract the angle's measure from 180 degrees:
Supplement = 180 degrees - 47 degrees = 133 degrees
Therefore, the correct answer is option A:
a) Complement: 43 degrees, Supplement: 133 degrees.
