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:
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 #501 : Geometry And Graphs
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 #502 : Geometry And Graphs
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 .
