Question

M∠GHI=98° and m∠JKL=82° .

Which statement is true about ∠GHI and​ ∠JHK ​?



The angles are supplementary.

The angles are neither complementary nor supplementary.

The angles are complementary.

Answer 1

1. The angles are supplementary

Explanation:

We have the measure of the angles GHI and JKL as 98° and 82° respectively.

Now, it is known that:

a. Supplementary angles are the angles whose sum is 180°

b. Complementary angles are the angles whose sum is 90°

As, 98° + 82° = 180°

Thus, the sum of angles GHI and JKL is 180°

So, angles GHI and JKL are supplementary angles.

Hence, option 1 is correct.

Answer 2

The angles are supplementary, for 98+82=180
