Question

Name the type of special pairs of angles shown.

Calculation Tip: Supplementary angles sum up to 180 degrees, and complementary angles sum to 90 degrees. If the supplementary or complementary angles are adjacent, they form a straight line or right angle, respectively.

Answer 1

Supplementary

Explanation:

These two angles would add up to 180 degrees. In other words the total of these two angles would make a straight line. Therefore, they are supplementary angles.

Answer 2

So WXY and YXZ are supplementary

Explanation:

These angles form a straight line, which is 180 degrees. Supplementary angles are 180 degrees.

So WXY and YXZ are supplementary
