1. Complementary angles are any 2 angles whose sum is 90°

Complementary angles are any 2 angles whose sum is 180°

a) BXC and CXD add up to 90°, so they are 2 complementary angles

b) AXC and CXD add up to 180°, so they are 2 supplementary angles

c) 2x+40°=90° (as BXC and CXD are complementary)

2x=90°- 40°
2x=50°
x=50°/2=25°

5y=90°

(5y)/(5)= (90)/(5)
y=18°
