Given the statement:
An angle is 88 degrees more than its supplement.
We must first take to note that a supplementary angle is an angle that has a measure of 180 degrees, or represented by a straight line in the Cartesian Coordinate Plane.
Supplementary Angle = 180 degrees
Solution:
if the angle is 88 degrees more than its supplement, then do this to find the angle's measure:
let a = Given angle
let b = Supplementary angle
Since it is stated that the angle is more than its supplement, this means that we use the operation of addition in order to find the angle. We simply add 88 degrees by 180 degrees.
= 88 degrees + 180 degrees
= 268 degrees
