Math Problem Statement

If two angles are ? complements of the same angle, then the two angles are ?

Solution

If two angles are complements of the same angle, then the two angles are equal.

This is because complementary angles are defined as two angles whose measures add up to 90°. So, if two angles are complements of the same angle, they both satisfy the equation:

x+y=90x + y = 90^\circ

Since both angles add to the same complement, they must be equal.

Here are five related questions:

  1. What does it mean for two angles to be supplementary?
  2. Can an obtuse angle have a complement?
  3. How do complementary and supplementary angles differ?
  4. What are vertical angles, and how are they related to this?
  5. If two angles are complements and one angle is 40°, what is the other angle?

Tip: When dealing with angle relationships, always double-check definitions like complementary (90°) and supplementary (180°) to avoid confusion.
