Question

Can someone help me??
can you show your work or how you got your answer
thanks !

Answer 1

First step is to remember the definition of the complement of an angle and the supplement of an angle :-)

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

Do you remember what they are?

Answer 4

@whpalmer4 sorta can you tell me?

Answer 5

Complementary is similar to corner. Which means that the two angles add up to 90 degrees.
Supplementary is similar to straight, as in line. The two angles add up to 180 degrees.

Answer 6

ok so how do i complete it

Answer 7

From that definition, it should be fairly simple and straight forward.

Answer 8

well its not really

Answer 9

52+x=90
52+x=180

Solve for x in both of those. There you go.

Answer 10

what number + 52 gives you 90?
90-52 = ?

Answer 11

52+38=90
52+128=180
like that?

Answer 12

exactly!

Answer 13

so thats my answer for this problem??

Answer 14

Correct,
x=38
x=128

Now, which one is complementary and which is supplementary.

Answer 15

and the supplement of an angle is always 90 degrees more than the complement. We can check your answers for consistency:

38+90 = 128 so they are consistent with each other.

Answer 16

is 128 supplementary
