Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the question, we need to recall that supplementary angles are two angles whose sum equals 180°. In the diagram, supplementary angles often appear as adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines.
Let's examine the pairs of angles mentioned:
-
∠KLN and ∠MLN:
- These are adjacent angles on a straight line . Since they are formed along a straight line, they are supplementary. Their sum is 180°.
-
∠JIG and ∠KLN:
- These two angles are not adjacent, nor do they share a straight line, so they are not supplementary.
-
∠KLI and ∠MLN:
- These angles are adjacent at point , and they are on opposite sides of a straight line, making them supplementary (since they sum up to 180°).
-
∠KLI and ∠JIL:
- These angles are adjacent but not on a straight line, so they do not add up to 180°. Hence, they are not supplementary.
From this analysis, the pairs of supplementary angles are:
- ∠KLN and ∠MLN (correct)
- ∠KLI and ∠MLN (correct)

Here are 5 follow-up questions to explore more:
- How do we determine if two angles are supplementary on a complex figure?
- Can supplementary angles exist without being adjacent?
- What is the difference between complementary and supplementary angles?
- How does the concept of linear pairs relate to supplementary angles?
- In what cases do supplementary angles appear in geometry problems?
Tip: When dealing with intersecting lines, look for angles that form a straight line (180°), as they are most likely supplementary.
