Use the image to answer the question.

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?

No, they do not add up to 180°. The reasoning behind this is that supplementary angles are angles that add up to exactly 180 degrees. In this case, angle A measures 37 degrees and angle B measures 143 degrees, so their sum is 37 + 143 = 180 degrees, which means they are not supplementary.
