Gone Fishin’!

Hello,

I’m a little stuck on a math problem and can’t find the answer anywhere. It would really help if I knew what it meant when one angle is the supplement of another, haha. I have to find x in this problem: The largest exterior angle has the measure x + 8, and the smallest interior angle is the supplement of that angle. It is refering to a triangle.

Please don’t tell me the answer! However If I could get the equation that would be a great help. Thank you!

A supplement is something you add to another number to make 180 degrees. Hopefully it gave you something on the interior angle, because you’d have to add that to the x+8, then set it equal to 180 degrees, then solve for X.

If it doesn’t, then I’d assume that the interior angle is X.

Good luck!
