Example Question #1 : Prove Line And Angle Theorems: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsg Co.C.9

What is the supplement of the complement of \(\displaystyle 50^{\circ}\)?

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 50^{\circ}\)

\(\displaystyle 40^{\circ}\)

\(\displaystyle 130^{\circ}\)

\(\displaystyle 100^{\circ}\)

\(\displaystyle 140^{\circ}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 140^{\circ}\)

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to break down each word.

We need to first find the complement of \(\displaystyle 50^{\circ}\).

The complement is 

\(\displaystyle 90 = x + y\)

Since we are given an angle of \(\displaystyle 50^{\circ}\) we can substitute it for \(\displaystyle x\), and solve for \(\displaystyle y\).

\(\displaystyle \\90 = y + 50 \\y = 40\)

Now since we need to find the supplement of the answer, we just got.

The supplement is 

\(\displaystyle 180 = x + y\)

Now we simply substitute the answer we just got for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle \\180 = y + 40 \\y = 140\)

So the answer is \(\displaystyle 140^{\circ}\).
