Math Problem Statement
Name a pair of adjacent complementary angles from the provided figure.
Solution
To find a pair of adjacent complementary angles in the given figure, we need to identify two angles that:
- Are adjacent (they share a common vertex and side).
- Add up to 90° (since complementary angles sum to 90°).
Right Side of the Figure:
- Angles and are adjacent.
- Their measures are and respectively.
- , so they are complementary.
Thus, the pair of adjacent complementary angles is:
Would you like a detailed explanation of how complementary angles work or more information?
Here are five related questions:
- What are supplementary angles, and how do they differ from complementary angles?
- Can two obtuse angles ever be complementary?
- How can you verify if two angles are complementary in a more complex diagram?
- What are adjacent angles, and how do they differ from vertical angles?
- Are complementary angles always acute?
Tip: Complementary angles always add up to 90 degrees, regardless of their individual sizes, but they must both be acute since obtuse angles cannot complement each other.
