The supplement of an angle added to the complement of the angle gives 210 degrees. What is the measure of the angle?
Also can someone explain to me how the answer was gotten?

2 angles are supplimentary if they add up to 180 degrees. They are complementary if they add up to 90 degrees.
So, if angle = x, then:
(180 - x) = x's supplimentary angle
(90 - x) = x's complimentary angle
Add 'em up
(180 - x) + (90 - x) = 210
270 - 2x = 210
-2x = -60
x =30 (solution!)

well.. your question doesn't make sense... you already gave the answer... 210.
unless you are asking for the degree of the supplement or complement angle...
is there not anymore info?
