Can someone please explain this to me I don't understand it. (I don't know how to solve it)
Find the measures of the complement and supplement of an angle with a measure of 60°
A. Complement. 30° ; Supplement, 120°
B. Complement. 330° ; Supplement, 120°
C. Complement. 160° ; Supplement, 160°
D. Complement. 220° ; Supplement, 70°
Thank you so much in advance!
Complementary angles - either of two angles whose sum is 90 degrees
Supplementary angles - either of two angles whose sum is 180 degrees.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
Right!
OHHH....
Thank you very much Mrs. Sue :D I think I understand now
60+30=90
120+60=180
so it would be A
To find the complement of an angle, you need to subtract the angle measure from 90°. The complement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the given angle, will result in a sum of 90°.
To find the supplement of an angle, you need to subtract the angle measure from 180°. The supplement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the given angle, will result in a sum of 180°.
In this case, the given angle has a measure of 60°.
1. For the complement, subtract 60° from 90°:
90° - 60° = 30°
2. For the supplement, subtract 60° from 180°:
180° - 60° = 120°
Therefore, the correct answer is A. Complement: 30°; Supplement: 120°.
