Math Problem Statement

Name a pair of nonadjacent complementary angles based on the figure.

Solution

In the image provided, we are asked to identify a pair of nonadjacent complementary angles. Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90°.

Let's analyze the angles in the second diagram (right side) where the complementary relationship may exist:

  • The angles near point JJ are: 5656^\circ, 3434^\circ, and 4949^\circ.
  • 56+34=9056^\circ + 34^\circ = 90^\circ.

Therefore, the pair of nonadjacent complementary angles is MJL=56\angle MJL = 56^\circ and NJK=34\angle NJK = 34^\circ.

  1. What are adjacent angles and how do they differ from complementary angles?
  2. Can two obtuse angles be complementary? Why or why not?
  3. How are supplementary angles different from complementary angles?
  4. Can a right angle be part of a complementary pair?
  5. How can you identify complementary angles in a diagram like this?

Tip: Complementary angles always add up to 90°, whereas supplementary angles sum to 180°. Keep this in mind to differentiate them easily!
