Define Supplementary angles.
_______________________________
Two Angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees. These two angles (140° and 40°) are Supplementary Angles, because they add up to 180°: Notice that together they make a straight angle

- Supplementary Angles
- Let the measure of one of the supplementary angles be a .
- Measure of the other angle is 2 times a .
- So, measure of the other angle is 2a .
- If the sum of the measures of two angles is 180° , then the angles are supplementary.
- So, a+2a=180°
- 3a=180°
- To isolate a , divide both sides of the equation by 3 .
- 3a3=180°3 a=60

Supplementary angles have two properties: Only two angles can sum to 180° -- three or more angles may sum to 180° or 2 radians, but they are not considered supplementary.

If two angles form a linear pair, the angles are supplementary. A linear pair forms a straight angle which contains 180º, so you have 2 angles whose measures add to 180, which means they are supplementary. If two congruent angles form a linear pair, the angles are right angles.
