Math Problem Statement

Angles 1 and 2 form a right angle.

Which word describes their measures?

linear

congruent

complementary

supplementary

Angles 1 and 2 form a right angle. Which word describes their measures? - linear - congruent - complementary - supplementary

Solution

Angles 11 and 22 in the diagram form a right angle, meaning their measures add up to 9090^\circ. Angles whose measures sum to 9090^\circ are called complementary angles.

Answer: complementary

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What are the definitions of complementary and supplementary angles?
  2. How can you determine whether two angles are complementary if one measure is known?
  3. Can angles be complementary if they are not adjacent or do not form a right angle?
  4. How do complementary angles relate to trigonometric functions?
  5. How do you calculate one angle when the complementary angle is given?

Tip: Remember that complementary angles always sum to 9090^\circ, while supplementary angles sum to 180180^\circ.
