1. Two angles are supplementary if their measures add up to $$180^\circ$$.

2. Let the supplementary angle be $$ x $$. Then, the equation is:
   $$
   16^\circ + x = 180^\circ
   $$

3. To solve for $$ x $$, subtract $$ 16^\circ $$ from both sides:
   $$
   x = 180^\circ - 16^\circ
   $$

4. Calculate the difference:
   $$
   x = 164^\circ
   $$

Thus, the measure of the supplementary angle is $$164^\circ$$.
The supplementary angle is $$164^\circ$$.
