Answer:


  • \angle ADC$ and \angle BDC$ are supplementary.
  • A pair of complementary angles is angles ACD and DCB.

Explanation:

Definitions

  • Two or more angles are supplementary if they add up to 180 degrees.
  • Two or more angles are complementary if they add up to 90 degrees.

In the diagram which is attached below:

Angles ADC are BDC are on a straight line, and they add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore:


\angle ADC$ and \angle BDC$ are supplementary.

Furthermore,


\angle ACB$ is a right angle.\\\angle ACB=\angle ACD+\angle DCB\\$Therefore, \angle ACD$ and \angle DCB$ are complementary.

A pair of complementary angles is angles ACD and DCB.

Use the diagram to identify the special angle pairs. ADC and BDC are . A pair of complementary-example-1
