constructing angle quick check

1 answer

If you're looking to quickly check if two angles are complementary, supplementary, or simply to verify their measurements, here's an easy guide:

Angle Relationships Quick Check

  1. Complementary Angles:

    • Two angles are complementary if their measures add up to 90 degrees.
    • Quick Check:
      • If Angle A + Angle B = 90°, they are complementary.
      • Example: 30° + 60° = 90° (complementary)
  2. Supplementary Angles:

    • Two angles are supplementary if their measures add up to 180 degrees.
    • Quick Check:
      • If Angle A + Angle B = 180°, they are supplementary.
      • Example: 110° + 70° = 180° (supplementary)
  3. Vertical Angles:

    • Vertical angles are formed when two lines intersect and are opposite each other; they are always equal.
    • Quick Check:
      • If Angle A and Angle B are vertical angles, then Angle A = Angle B.
  4. Adjacent Angles:

    • For adjacent angles (angles that share a common side and vertex) to sum to a specific degree measure (either 90° or 180°), check if they form complementary or supplementary pairs.
    • Quick Check:
      • Check the measures. If they meet the criteria for complementary or supplementary, they are Adjacent.

Tips for Quick Angle Measures

  • Protractor Use: If you're measuring angles physically or on paper, using a protractor gives you an accurate measure quickly.
  • Calculator: For quick calculations, use a calculator to add the angles and check against the required sum (90° or 180°).

Practice Problem

Check the relationship:

  • Angle A = 45°
  • Angle B = 45°

Solution:

  • 45° + 45° = 90°, so they are complementary.
