Possible Answers:

horizontal

complimentary

equal

supplementary

vertical 

Correct answer:

supplementary

Explanation:

These angles are supplementary, as the sum of the angles is 180o.

Example Question #462 : Trigonometry

What angle is supplementary to ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles that are supplementary add up to . For our problem, that means that .

Subtract  from both sides.

Example Question #463 : Trigonometry

Find the complementary angle to 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles that are complementary must add to , therefore we subtract the given angle from  as follows:

Example Question #464 : Trigonometry

Find the complementary angle to 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if their sum is , therefore we subtract the given angle from  as follows:

Example Question #462 : Trigonometry

Find the angle that is supplementary to 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are supplementary if their sum is , therefore we subtract the given angle from  as follows:

Example Question #465 : Trigonometry

Find the angle that is supplementary to 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are supplementary if their sum is , therefore we subtract the given angle from  as follows:

Example Question #461 : Trigonometry

Find the angle that is supplementary to 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If two angles are supplementary their sum is , therefore we subtract the given angle from  as follows:

Example Question #466 : Trigonometry

Find the complementary angle to 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order for two angles to be complementary their sum must be , therefore the complementary angle can be found by subtracting the given angle from :

Example Question #6 : Angles

Determine the complementary angle to 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The sum of two complementary angles must be , therefore in order to determine the complementary angle of  we simply subtract from  as follows:

Example Question #11 : Complementary And Supplementary Angles

Find the positive complementary angle of 

Possible Answers:

Does not exist

Correct answer:

Does not exist

Explanation:

In order for two angles to be complementary their sum must equal , therefore we subtract the given angle from  as follows:

However, it was stated that we are looking for the positive complementary angle, therefore, there is no positive complementary angle.
