60 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

120 degrees = 180 - 120 or 60 degrees.

2. hanjonez says:

Supplementary angles are those which sum upto 180°

$\angle 1+\angle2=180^{\circ}$

Complementary are those which sum to 90°

$\angle 1+\angle2=90^{\circ}$

so if you know one angle, you can find other.

complement is 78°, supplement is 168°

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the measure of the complement

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then their sum is equal to 90 degrees

Let

C ----> the complement of the given angle

we have

$m\angle G=12^o$

so

$m\angle G+m\angle C=90^o$

substitute

$12^o+m\angle C=90^o$

$m\angle C=90^o-12^o=78^o$

Part 2) Find the measure of the supplement

we know that

If two angles are supplementary, then their sum is equal to 180 degrees

Let

S ----> the supplement of the given angle

we have

$m\angle G=12^o$

so

$m\angle G+m\angle S=180^o$

substitute

$12^o+m\angle S=180^o$

$m\angle S=180^o-12^o=168^o$

The correct answer would C. Complement 70. supplement 160.

Step-by-step explanation:

60+B+B=9060–60+B+B=90–60B+B=302B=302÷2B=30÷2B=15

Therefore, since A=B+60 then  A=15+60 which equals 70 . SO the answer would C.

Look at my explaination

Step-by-step explanation:The complement of 50 is 90-50 giving us 40degrees

The supplement of 145 is 180-145=35 degrees

The compliment of 27 degrees is 90-27=63 degrees

The supplement of 50 degrees is 180-50=130 degrees

the two may have that, even a breakdown is probably offered

7. ChocCole says:

$complement = 37 supplement = 127$

8. raquelrivera03 says:

C) complement, 37°, supplement, 127°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that complementary angles add to 90 degrees

x+53 =90

Subtract 53 from each side

x+53-53=90-53

x = 37

We know that supplementary angles add to 180

x+53 =180

Subtract 53 from each side

x+53-53= 180-53

x = 127

11. Queenjlife2583 says:

But i think

Complemantary are angles whose sum is 90 and supplementary are the ones whose sum is 180

So
Complementary of 60 is 30
And
Supplementary is 120

Pleasee tell where i m wrong but this is what i studied and i am sure its correct

12. kenyakids405 says:

Complement of an angle = 90° - x.

Supplement of the complement of an angle = 180 - (90 - x).

= 180 - 90 + x

= 90 + x

Supplement of the complement of an angle less the complement of an angle = (90 + x) - (90 - x)

= 90 + x - 90 + x

= 2x

Now, the quotient of the supplement of the angle and the number 3 is $\frac{180-x}{3}$.

It is given that supplement of the complement of an angle less the complement of an angle exceeds the quotient of the supplement of the angle and the number 3 by 73.

Therefore, 2x = $\frac{180x}{3} +73$

$2x=\frac{180-x+219}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 3.

6x = 180 - x + 219

= 399 - x
