1. **State the problem:** We are given that the measure of an angle is forty-four times the measure of its supplementary angle. We need to find the measure of each angle.
2. **Recall the definition of supplementary angles:** Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.
3. **Set variables:** Let the measure of the smaller angle be $x$ degrees.
4. **Express the larger angle:** The larger angle is $44x$ degrees.
5. **Write the equation for supplementary angles:**
$$x + 44x = 180$$
6. **Simplify the equation:**
$$45x = 180$$
7. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = \frac{180}{45}$$
$$x = 4$$
8. **Find the larger angle:**
$$44x = 44 \times 4 = 176$$
9. **Answer:** The two supplementary angles measure 4 degrees and 176 degrees respectively.
