Complementary Angle determine the value of A:
Theorem (CAT): A = 90 - X
A = 90 - 37
When the total is 90° (a right A = 53
angle), you can use one of
Therefore, A’s value is 53°

minus whatever number you
know (aka X if you want a
variable).

(Corresponding CAT)
51°
When 3 lines form a "F" the
angles at the bottom of the
top line and the bottom of
the bottom line are the According to

Co-interior Angle Theorem (Co-
interior AT)
51°
When 3 lines form a wonky
looking "C", the angle at the
top and the bottom would
add up to 180. So if we knew According to Co-
one of the angles, then interior Angle Theorem
subtract that number from , because the angle is
180 to get the other angle 51°, the value of A
would be 180 - 51,
which is 129.
