Math Problem Statement

Determina si los ángulos son suplementarios, complementarios u opuestos por el vértice.

Solution

The image presents a problem where we are asked to determine the relationships between angles labeled as aa, bb, cc, and dd, and whether these angles are supplementary, complementary, or vertical (opposite angles). Here’s how to approach this:

1. Identifying angle relationships:

  • a\angle a and b\angle b: These two angles are adjacent and form a straight line, so they are supplementary. The sum of supplementary angles is always 180180^\circ.
  • a\angle a and d\angle d: These are vertical (opposite) angles, so they are equal.
  • a\angle a and c\angle c: Like a\angle a and d\angle d, a\angle a and c\angle c are also vertical angles, so they are equal.

2. Given angles:

  • b=120\angle b = 120^\circ
  • d=120\angle d = 120^\circ
  • a=60\angle a = 60^\circ (since it is supplementary to b\angle b)

Completing the questions:

  • aa and dd are opposite angles, so a=d=60a = d = 60^\circ.
  • aa and cc are opposite angles, so a=c=60a = c = 60^\circ.

Answering the questions in the activity:

  1. aa y dd = 6060^\circ
  2. aa y cc = 6060^\circ
  3. Los ángulos suplementarios suman = 180180^\circ
  4. Los ángulos complementarios suman = 9090^\circ (However, there are no complementary angles shown in this diagram.)

Would you like further details on these angle relationships, or do you have any other questions?


Here are 5 related questions to explore:

  1. What is the definition of vertical (opposite) angles?
  2. How can you determine if two angles are supplementary or complementary?
  3. What is the sum of all interior angles on a straight line?
  4. Can two obtuse angles be supplementary? Why or why not?
  5. What happens if two adjacent angles are both right angles?

Tip: Vertical (opposite) angles are always equal, no matter the orientation of the lines.
