Two angles have measures of 63°15'47" and 116°44'13". The angles are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find this you keep the degree

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

What is the sum of those two angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

complementary supplementary neither complementary or supplementary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats what it's asking. What kind is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

complementary means they add to 90 degrees supplementary means they add to 180 degrees when you add an angle with degrees, minutes, and seconds, it is a lot like adding two times together... if the seconds add to more than 60, you "carry"... so you have some seconds and carry the extra minute. If the seconds add exactly to 60, then the sum of the angles has an extra minute (1 minute = 60 seconds), but 0 seconds... It's exactly like adding 1 min 30 seconds to 2 min 30 seconds... you get 4 minutes total. Just add these two angles and see what you get.

That's what it looks like to me... 13 sec + 47 sec = 1 min 0 sec carry the 1 min + 15 min + 44 min = 1 degree, 0 min, 0 sec carry the 1 deg + 63 + 116 = 180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now I do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well.. kinda?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are neither complementary or supplementary because the do not add up to either 180 degrees or 360 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 degrees is the angle sum in lines and triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360 degrees is the angle sum for other polygons and circles

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

@hanakopersonne they add to 180 degrees exactly. 47" + 13" = 60" which equals 1'. 15' + 44' + 1' = 60' which equals 1 degree. 63 degrees + 116 degrees + 1 degree = 180 degrees.
