Example Question #4 : Supplementary Angles
If an angle given is radians, what is the other angle if both angles are supplementary?
Note that supplementary angles sum up to 180 degrees or equal to radians.
Subtract the known angle from pi.
The answer is:
Example Question #61 : Angle Geometry
Which angle must be supplementary to the angle ?
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
Subtract from 180 degrees. Do not add this value with 180!
The answer is:
Example Question #61 : Angle Geometry
The angles above are supplementary.
What is the angle measure of the smaller angle above?
Since the two angles are supplementary, you know that they must add up to degrees. Therefore, you can take their values and create the following simple equation:
Next, solve for :
Now, be careful! Substitute back in to find your angle measures:
Your smaller measure is degrees.
Example Question #62 : Angle Geometry
The angles above are supplementary.
What is the smaller of the two angle measures?
Since the two angles are supplementary, you know that they must add up to degrees. Therefore, you can take their values and create the following simple equation:
Simplify to find :
Then, put back in to find the smaller measure:
Thus, the smaller angle is degrees.
Example Question #63 : Angle Geometry
The angles above are supplementary.
What is the sum of the two smaller angles in those above?
To begin, note that the angles are supplementary. This means that they must add up to degrees. Based on your data, this means:
Simplifying, you get:
Since is degrees, you know that your three angles are:
Therefore, the sum of your two smallest angles is degrees.
Example Question #11 : Supplementary Angles
There are three angles that, altogether, are supplementary. The second angle is 10 degrees larger than the first, while the third is 10 larger than the second. What is the size of the middle-sized angle?
Cannot be computed from the information provided
Since all three angles are supplementary, you know that they must add up to degrees. However, you need to manage some of the other details. Imagine that the first one is degrees. The second must be degrees. This means that the third is or degrees. Therefore, you could draw the following:
Based on this data, you know:
Simplifying, you get:
The middle angle is or degrees
Example Question #502 : 2 Dimensional Geometry
Angles x and y are supplementary. If , what is the value of x?
Two angles are supplementary if they add up to . So, to find supplementary angles, we will use the following formula:
Now, we know . So, we can substitute and solve for x. We get
Example Question #12 : Supplementary Angles
Suppose a pair of angles are supplementary. What is the other angle if one angle is ?
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
To find the other angle, we will need to subtract the given angle from 180.
Combine like-terms.
The answer is:
Example Question #504 : 2 Dimensional Geometry
Angles x and y are supplementary. If , find x.
Two angles are supplementary if they add up to . So, we use the following formula:
Now, we know So, we will substitute and solve for x. We get
Example Question #505 : 2 Dimensional Geometry
If two angles are supplementary, where one given angle measurement is degrees, and the other angle is degrees,what must be the value of ?
Set up an equation such that both angles will add up to 180 degrees, since these are supplementary angles.
Combine like-terms.
Subtract fifty from both sides.
Divide by 100 on both sides.
The answer is:
