Given:
The pairs of angles are:
36°,24°
18°,72°
96°,84°
To find:
Whether each pair of angle measurements are complementary, supplementary or neither.
Solution:
Two angles are complementary if there sum is 90 degrees.
Two angles are supplementary if there sum is 180 degrees.
For 36° and 24°,
[tex]36^\circ+24^\circ =60^\circ[/tex]
So, this pair is neither complementary not supplementary.
For 18° and 72°,
[tex]18^\circ+72^\circ =90^\circ[/tex]
So, this pair is complementary.
For 96° and 84°,
[tex]96^\circ+84^\circ =180^\circ[/tex]
So, this pair is supplementary.
