identify the angles as complementary or supplementary and then find the value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here are the answers A( supplementary 65degrees B( complementary 155degrees C( complementary 65degrees D( supplementary 155degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Complimentary angles add up to 90° and are the pair of angles in a square corner. Supplementary angles add up to 180° and are the pair of angles on a straight line. Which would you say you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

supplementary 65degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that pair of answers? Look at the picture. Do you have a straight line or a square corner?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... so what number do your angles add up to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

115

OpenStudy (anonymous):

115 isn't an option. Complimentary angles add up to \(90°\) and are the pair of angles in a square corner. Supplementary angles add up to \(180°\) and are the pair of angles on a straight line. Do the angles in your picture combine into a CORNER or LINE?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea 115 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

show me how you're getting 115 please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25 degrees + 99degrees = 115degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't add 25 to 90. subtract it. 25 + x = 90 x = 90 - 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 65 degreese

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

complimentary or supplementary?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

read my first reply. Your angles added up to 90, so...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so Complimentary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (dayakar):

sum of any two angles = 90 then they are called complementary example, <a = 20 , <b = 70 sum of these two = 90 there fore <x and <b are complementary
