Complementary Angles

Two angles are called complementary angles if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.

Supplementary Angles

Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

Supplementary Angle Relationship

If one angle of a pair of supplementary angles is decreased, the other angle must be increased by the same amount to maintain their sum as 180 degrees.

Angle Equal to its Complement

An angle that is equal to its complement is 45 degrees.

Study Notes

Complementary Angles

  • Complementary angles add up to 90°.
  • Example: 20° and 70° (90° - 20° = 70°)

Supplementary Angles

  • Supplementary angles add up to 180°.
  • Example: 105° and 75° (180° - 105° = 75°)

Identifying Complementary and Supplementary Pairs

  • Determine if pairs of angles are complementary (sum is 90°) or supplementary (sum is 180°).

Angles Equal to Their Complements/Supplements

  • An angle equal to its complement is 45°.
  • An angle equal to its supplement is 90°.

Supplementary Angles and Decreasing One Angle

  • If one supplementary angle decreases, the other must increase by the same amount to maintain the sum of 180°.

Types of Angles in Supplementary Pairs

  • Two acute angles cannot be supplementary.
  • Two obtuse angles cannot be supplementary.
  • Two right angles are supplementary.

Complementary Angles and Values

  • If an angle is greater than 45°, its complement is less than 45°.

Adjacent and Vertically Opposite Angles

  • Adjacent angles share a common vertex and side.
  • Vertically opposite angles are formed by intersecting lines.
  • Linear pairs are adjacent and form a straight line (180°).

Identifying Angle Pairs

  • Use the given diagrams to identify pairs of angles (adjacent, vertically opposite, complementary, supplementary, linear pairs).

Identifying Properties of Angles

  • Analyze figures and identify various relationships between angles.

Angle Values in Figures

  • Use principles (e.g., vertically opposite angles are equal, adjacent angles on a straight line add up to 180°) to find unknown angles.

Summary of Terms

  • Complementary - Angles that add up to 90°.
  • Supplementary – Angles that add up to 180°.
  • Adjacent angles - Angles that share a common vertex and side.
  • Vertically opposite angles - Angles opposite each other when two lines intersect.
  • Linear pair - Two adjacent angles that form a straight line (180°).
