Question
CBSEENMA7000825

Find the complement of each of the following angles:

 wiredfaculty.com

Solution

The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90º.

(i) 20°

Complement = 90° − 20°

= 70°

(ii) 63°

Complement = 90° − 63°

= 27°

(iii) 57°

Complement = 90° − 57°

= 33°

Question
CBSEENMA7000826

Find the supplement of each of the following angles:

Solution

The sum of the measures of supplementary anglesis 180º.

(i) 105°

Supplement = 180° − 105°

= 75°

(ii) 87°

Supplement = 180° − 87°

= 93°

(iii) 154°

Supplement = 180° − 154°

= 26°

Question
CBSEENMA7000827

Identify which of the following pairs of angles are complementary and which are supplementary.

(i) 65°, 115° (ii) 63°, 27°

(iii) 112°, 68° (iv) 130°, 50°

(v) 45°, 45° (vi) 80°, 10°

Solution

The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90º and that of supplementary anglesis 180º.

(i) 65°, 115°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 65º + 115º = 180°

∴ These angles are supplementary angles.

(ii) 63°, 27°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 63º + 27º = 90°

∴ These angles are complementary angles.

(iii) 112°, 68°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 112º + 68º = 180°

∴ These angles are supplementary angles.

(iv) 130°, 50°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 130º + 50º = 180°

∴ These angles are supplementary angles.

(v) 45°, 45°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 45º + 45º = 90°

∴ These angles are complementary angles.

(vi) 80°, 10°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 80º + 10º = 90°

∴ These angles are complementary angles.

Question
CBSEENMA7000828

Find the angle which is equal to its complement.

Solution

Let the angle be x.

Complement of this angle is also x.

The sum of the measures of a complementary angle pair is 90º.

∴ x + x = 90°

2x = 90°

x=90°2=45°
