The correct answer is: No, they do not add up to 180°.
The reason behind this answer is that supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180°. In this case, the angle measurement of m∠A is 37° and the angle measurement of m∠B is 143°. The sum of these two angles is 37° + 143° = 180°, which means they do not add up to 180°. Therefore, they cannot be supplementary angles.
