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:

  • POR\angle POR is formed by the intersection of two lines. Supplementary angles are adjacent angles that form a straight line.
  • Let's evaluate the options:
  1. POR\angle POR and NOM\angle NOM: These angles are not adjacent and do not form a straight line. Therefore, they are not supplementary.
  2. POR\angle POR and POM\angle POM: These two angles are adjacent and form a straight line along the line PMPM. Therefore, they are supplementary.
  3. POR\angle POR and QRO\angle QRO: These angles are not adjacent and do not form a straight line. Hence, they are not supplementary.
  4. POR\angle POR and SRT\angle SRT: These angles are also not adjacent and do not form a straight line, so they are not supplementary.

Thus, the correct answer is POR\angle POR and POM\angle POM, as they form a linear pair, summing to 180°.

  2. Can two right angles be supplementary?
  3. How do adjacent angles relate to supplementary angles?
  4. What are complementary angles, and how are they different from supplementary angles?
  5. Are vertical angles ever supplementary?

Tip: Supplementary angles always add up to 180°, forming a straight line when placed together.
