A line from top left to bottom right intersects two parallel lines that extend from bottom left to top right. The intersection with the first parallel line is labeled A. The intersection with the second parallel line is labeled B.
Determine whether the two angle measurements can be supplementary if m∠A=37° and m∠B=143° . What is the reasoning behind the answer?

A. No, they are not adjacent.
B. No, they do not add up to 180°.
C. Yes, they are a supplementary pair.
Yes, they are a supplementary pair.
D. No, they do not add up to 90°.
B. No, they do not add up to 180°.
The reasoning behind this answer is that angles A and B are corresponding angles formed by the line intersecting the parallel lines. Corresponding angles are congruent if the lines are parallel. Since angle A measures 37° and angle B measures 143°, their sum is 180°. Therefore, angles A and B are supplementary.
