a supplement is the angle that combines with the original angle to make a straight line, 180 degrees. 86 + 94 = 180, so the supplement is 94 degrees.
a complement is the angle that combines with the original angle to make a right angle, 90 degrees. 53 + 37 = 90, so the complement is 37 degrees.

A supplement is the angle in which actually combines with the original angle inorder to make a straight line,
180 degrees. 86 + 94 = 180, so the supplement is 94 degrees.
a complement is the angle in which combines with the original angle to make a right angle, 90 degrees. 53 + 37 = 90, so the complement is 37 degrees.
Hope that helps!

1. An angle measures 86 degrees. What is the measure of its supplementary angle?
First: let "x" represent the measure of the supplementary angle + 86 = 180 because supplementary angles equal 180 degrees...
x + 86 = 180
Sec: solve for "x" by isolating it on one side > subtract 86 from both sides...
x + 86 - 86 = 180 - 86
x = 94 degrees
2. An angle measures 53 (degrees) . What is the measure of its complementary angle?
First: "x" represent the measure of the supplementary angle + 53 = 90 because complementary angles equal 90 degrees...
x + 53 = 90
Sec: isolate "x" > subtract 53 from both sides...
x + 53 - 53 = 90 - 53
x = 37 degrees

(a) 180 - 86 = 94 degrees (is the measure of its supplement)
(b) 90 - 53 = 37 degrees (is the measure of its complement)

supplement = (180 - 86)= 94 degrees
complement= (90 -53)= 37 degrees

I've been studying the same things for the past 2 weeks.There can either be a supplementay angle or complementary.
A) 94
B)37
Supplementary: Two angles that when added up are a sum of 180 degrees.
Complementary: Two angles that when added up are a sum of 90 degrees.

supplement = 180-x
so 180-86=94
complement = 90-x
so 90-53 = 37

a) 94 because 94+86 = 180
b) 37 because 37 + 53 = 90

supplements add up to 180
complements add up to 90
