Find the measure of the complement and the supplement of an angle with measure 50 degrees
A. complement, 130 degrees; supplement, 40 degrees
B. complement, 40 degrees; supplement, 40 degrees <my answer
C. complement, 140 degrees; supplement, 230 degrees
D. complement, 230 degrees; supplement, 140 degrees;
Hmmm! The complement is indeed 40, but the supplement is 130.
Don't see that choice.
I suspect a typo.
Im here to help! The answer is B, The complement is 40° and the supplement is 130°.
steve your correct, he put it in wrong
complement 130, supplement 40
complemt 40, supplement 130
And so on
A complement cannot exceed over 90°, and a supplement meets 180°. Remember, angles cannot exceed over the limit of 180°.
Subtract 50° from 90, the answer is 40°. And subtract 50° from 180°, the answer is 130°. The complement is 40° and the supplement is 130°. :)
