Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Geometry

Two angles are supplementary and have a ratio of 1:4.  What is the size of the smaller angle?

Possible Answers:

36^{\circ}

18^{\circ}

72^{\circ}

144^{\circ}

45^{\circ}

Correct answer:

36^{\circ}

Explanation:

Since the angles are supplementary, their sum is 180 degrees.  Because they are in a ratio of 1:4, the following expression could be written:

x+4x=180

5x=180

x=36^{\circ}

Example Question #6 : How To Find The Measure Of An Angle

What angle is complementary to ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the other angle, subtract the given angle from  since complementary angles add up to .

The complementary is:

Example Question #11 : How To Find The Measure Of An Angle

What is the supplementary angle to ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to . In order to find the correct angle, take the known angle and subtract that from .

What angle is complement to ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The complement to an angle is ninety degrees subtract the angle since two angles must add up to 90.  In this case, since we are given the angle in radians, we are subtracting from  instead to find the complement.  The conversion between radians and degrees is:  

Reconvert the fractions to the least common denominator.

Reduce the fraction.

Example Question #91 : Plane Geometry

Exterior_angle

Note: Figure NOT drawn to scale.

What is the measure of angle 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The two angles at bottom are marked as congruent. One forms a linear pair with a  angle, so it is supplementary to that angle, making its measure .  Therefore, each marked angle measures .

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is , so:

Example Question #31 : Geometry

One of the base angles of an isosceles triangle is . Give the measure of the vertex angle.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The base angles of an isosceles triangle are always equal. Therefore both base angles are .

Let the measure of the third angle. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is , we can solve accordingly:

Example Question #32 : Geometry

The figure represents a set of complementary angles, solve for .


2

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles are defined as two angles that when added together equal 

From the question, we know that the two angles are complimentary, and thus equal , so we can set up the following equation:

Next we can solve for :
