Math Problem Statement

Which angle is supplementary to ∠3?

Solution

To solve this, we need to determine which angle is supplementary to 3\angle 3.

Supplementary Angles:

Two angles are supplementary if their sum equals 180 degrees.

Looking at the diagram, 3\angle 3 and 5\angle 5 appear to be adjacent angles forming a straight line. Since they form a straight line, their measures sum to 180°, meaning 5\angle 5 is supplementary to 3\angle 3.

The correct answer is 5\angle 5, which corresponds to 6\angle 6 in the given answer options.

Here are some follow-up questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What does it mean for two angles to be adjacent?
  2. How can we identify complementary angles in a similar diagram?
  3. Can vertical angles ever be supplementary?
  4. How would you find angles in a transversal situation with parallel lines?
  5. What is the relationship between opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines?

Tip: When solving for supplementary angles, always look for pairs of angles that form a straight line!
