Chapter 8.6, Problem 26E

To determine

The measure of the supplement of angle 2.

Answer to Problem 26E

The measure of supplement of $\angle 2$ is $156°.$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $\begin{array}{l}m\angle 1=58°\\ m\angle 2=24°\end{array}$

  

Calculation:

Let the measure of supplement of angle 2 be $x°.$

Therefore,

  $\begin{array}{l}x°=180°-m\angle 2\\ x°=180°-24°\\ x°=156°\end{array}$

The measure of supplement of $\angle 2$ is $156°.$
