Two angles are supplementary |
2009-01-08 |
|
From Stephanie:
two angles are supplementary, one of the angles is 30 degrees more than double the other angle.
find the first angle, the second angle the complement of the given angle.

Complementary and supplementary angles |

From Tracey:
I have looked at your answers for students asking if groups of more than
two angles can be considered either complementary or supplementary.
Your answer is basically "no" because of historic definition. However, I
present to you the following case to consider:
Segments AB, CD and EF intersect at point G creating 6 angles
numbered 1-6 in a clockwise manner. If Angle 1=25 degrees, and
angle 2 = 106 degrees, would the only way to calculate the measures of
angles 3 and 6 not be to consider the definition of supplementary angles?
And, if one was to be doing a proof of this, would not the reason be "definition
of supplementary angles"?
This, then, creates a group of 3 angles that are supplementary.
Help me correct my logic if it is flawed.

From David:
I know that supplementary angles add to 180 degrees and that commplementary angles add up to be 90 degrees, but what are adjacent angles that equal 360 degrees called?

Supplementary angles |
2000-05-09 |
|
From Suzanne:
We know that: Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum equals 180 degrees and complementary angles are two angles whose sum equals 90 degrees. Are supplementary and complementary angles necessarily adjacent? or can they be non-adjacent?

Complementary and Supplementary Angles |
1998-10-21 |

From Christina Saunders:
I am in 9th grade and my math teacher wanted us to find out why complimentary angles are called complimentary and why supplimentary angles are called supplimentary. I have looked everywhere and asked numerous people, but I have yet to find an answer. My math teacher said it had something to do with trigonometry. Do you have an answer for me?
