Math Problem Statement
Which angles are supplementary angles?
Solution
To determine which angles are supplementary, we need to identify pairs of angles that sum up to 180°.
Looking at the diagram:
- is formed by the intersection of two lines. Supplementary angles are adjacent angles that form a straight line.
- Let's evaluate the options:
- and : These angles are not adjacent and do not form a straight line. Therefore, they are not supplementary.
- and : These two angles are adjacent and form a straight line along the line . Therefore, they are supplementary.
- and : These angles are not adjacent and do not form a straight line. Hence, they are not supplementary.
- and : These angles are also not adjacent and do not form a straight line, so they are not supplementary.
Thus, the correct answer is and , as they form a linear pair, summing to 180°.
