Question

Angles 1 and 2 form a right angle. Which word describes their measures? linear congruent complementary supplementary

Answer 1

Answer:

Complementary

Explanation:

We know that the angles we have are form a right angle

Let's check the choices:

1- Linear:

Linear angles are formed when two angles share a common ray. We are not given this for sure, therefore, this choice is incorrect

2- Congruent:

Congruent angles are angles having the exact same measure. We are not given this for sure, therefore, this choice is incorrect

3- Complementary:

Complementary angles are angles whose sum is 90°. We are given that the two angles form a right angle (whose measure is 90°), therefore, this choice is correct

4- Supplementary:

Supplementary angles are angles whose sum is 180°. We are given that the sum of the two angles is 90° not 180°, therefore, this choice is incorrect

Hope this helps :)
