2.2 Complementary and Supplementary Angles Definition: Complementary Angles are two angles whose measures sum to 90. Each of the two angles is called the complement of the other. Adjacent Angles • Definition: Two angles are called adjacent angles if they share a vertex and a common side. • Angles 1 and 2 are adjacent: 1 2 Examples of Complementary Angles Adjacent Angles Non-Adjacent Angles Definition: Supplementary Angles are two angles whose measures sum to 180. Each of the two angles is called the supplement of the other. Examples of Supplementary Angles Adjacent Angles Non-Adjacent Angles Algebra & Angle Relationships You can find the complement of an angle that measures x° by subtracting its measure from 90°, or (90 – x)°. You can find the supplement of an angle that measures x° by subtracting its measure from 180°, or (180 – x)°. Example: Finding the Measures of Complements and Supplements Find the measure of each of the following. A. complement of F (90 – x) 90 – 59 = 31 B. supplement of G (180 – x) 180 – (7x+10) = 180 – 7x – 10 = (170 – 7x) Another Example Find the measure of each of the following. a. complement of E (90 – x)° 90° – (7x – 12)° = 90° – 7x° + 12° = (102 – 7x)° b. supplement of F (180 – x) 180 – 116.5° = Verbal Description of Angle Relationships An angle is 10° more than 3 times the measure of its complement. Find the measure of the complement. Step 1 Let mA = x°. Then B, its complement measures (90 – x)°. Step 2 Write and solve an equation. x = 3(90 – x) + 10 x = 270 – 3x + 10 x = 280 – 3x 4x = 280 x = 70 Substitute x for mA and 90 – x for mB. Distrib. Prop. Combine like terms. Divide both sides by 4. Simplify. The measure of the complement, B, is (90 – 70) = 20. Verbal Description of Angle Relationships An angle’s measure is 12° more than half the measure of its supplement. Find the measure of the angle. x = 0.5(180 – x) + 12 Substitute x for mA and 180 - x for mB. x = 90 – 0.5x + 12 Distrib. Prop. x = 102 – 0.5x Combine like terms. 1.5x = 102 x = 68 The measure of the angle is 68. Divide both sides by 1.5. Simplify. Verbal Description of Angle Relationships • • • • Two angles are complementary. The angle measures are in the ratio 7:8. Find the measure of each angle. Solution: The angle measures can be represented by 7x and 8x. Then 7 x 8x 90 15x 90 x 6 Then the angle measures are 7 x 42 and 8x 48.
