Hi! I'm back! XD So you know that the two are going to be 180 together. So, ignoring the first part, what two measure angles could make up 180? 90 and 90, right?

So, if two 90s are supplementary and they have to be 40 degrees apart, you would subtract 20 from one and add it to the other. So what do you think it would be?

so 110 and 70?
