Question

Which relationships describe the angle pair x° and 50º?

Select each correct answer.

adjacent angles

vertical angles

supplementary angles

complementary angles

Answer 1

complementary angles

Answer 2

(A) and (D)

Explanation:

From the given figure, it can be seen that ∠x and 50° form adjacent angle pair, thus using the straight line property, we have

∠x+50°+90°=180°

∠x+140°=180°

∠x=40°

Now, if we put x=40° and add with angle having measure 50°, it forms complementary angles.

Thus, The relationship between x and 50° is that they are adjacent angles and complementary angles.
