OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

what's a complementary angle anyway? what about a supplementary angle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its 79.8 and the sumplarmer angle of 97.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How could you use that information?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

Do you know what a complementary angle is or are you asking me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh my bad @jdoe0001, didn't see that comment

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hehehe

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

@rainbow_rocks03 yes... do you know what they are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol^ but seriously though it's the Socratic method, you teach by asking questions

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

Yes. Complementary Angle-two angles whose sum is 90°

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so 41.4+x=90 What is x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The value of x would be your complimentary angle So how could you set up supplementary based on the way i set it up above?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well then |dw:1455841606107:dw|

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

41.4 + x = 90... X = 48.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well lol that's all you need isn't it? That rules out all other 3 options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But seriously knowing how to do the supplementary is important, I suggest you also nail that

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

anyhow... 90 -41.4 to 90 :) thus, the complementary and 180 - 41.4 to 180, thus the supplementary :)
