Example Question #506 : 2 Dimensional Geometry
Figure NOT drawn to scale.
Refer to the above figure. Evaluate .
The marked angles form a linear pair and are therefore supplementary - their degree measures total . Set the sum of the expressions equal to 180, and solve for :
Simplify and collect like terms:
Subtract 88 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Example Question #1471 : Ged Math
If an angle is measured 75 degrees, what is the other angle if both angles are supplementary?
Supplementary angles sum up to 180 degrees.
To find the other angle, subtract the given angle from 180 degrees.
The answer is:
Example Question #22 : Supplementary Angles
Suppose the angle and are supplementary. What must be a possible angle?
If two angles are supplementary, they must add up to 180 degrees.
Set up an equation such that both angles will add to 180 degrees.
Solve the equation.
Divide by 5 on both sides.
One of the possible angles is either or .
The answer is:
Example Question #1472 : Ged Math
Two angles are supplementary if they add up to:
Two angles are supplementary if they add up to .
Example Question #24 : Supplementary Angles
Two angles are supplementary. If one angle is , what is the value of the other angle?
If two angles are supplementary, they add up to . So, we can use the formula:
Now, we know one angle is . So, we can substitute and then solve for the other angle. So, we get
Therefore, the other angle is .
Example Question #1473 : Ged Math
Suppose two angles are supplementary. If one angle is degrees, what must be the other angle?
Supplementary angles must add up to 180 degrees.
Subtract the known angle from 180.
The answer is:
Example Question #1474 : Ged Math
If two angles are supplementary to each other, what is the other angle if one angle is 135 degrees?
Supplementary angles add to to 180 degrees.
To find the other angle, subtract the known angle from 180.
The answer is:
Example Question #1475 : Ged Math
Suppose two angles are supplementary to each other. What is the value of the other angle if one angle is measured 120 degrees?
Supplementary angles must add up to 180 degrees.
To find the other angle, subtract the known angle from 180.
The answer is:
Example Question #81 : Angle Geometry
In the diagram below, find the measurement of .
Notice that the three smaller angles all lie on a straight angle. This means we can write the following equation:
Now, has a measure of , thus we can write the following:
Example Question #514 : 2 Dimensional Geometry
Use the following diagram of angles to answer the question:
If these two angles are supplementary, find the value of x.
Two angles are supplementary if they add up to . So, we can use the formula:
where x and y are the angles.
So, given the angles
we can see one angle is . So, we can substitute and solve for x. We get
