1 Identify angles as adjacent, vertical,

complementary and supplementary.

Objective-- Students will identify angles as complementary

and supplementary and solve problems with an unknown
angle from given information about them by finding a
missing angle and scoring an 80% proficiency on an exit slip.
Warm Up
Identify the type of angle.

1. 70° acute
2. 90° right
3. 140° obtuse
4. 180° straight
 Vocabulary
congruent
vertical angles
adjacent angles
complementary angles
supplementary angles
Congruent angles have the same measure.

Vertical angles are formed opposite each other

when two lines intersect. Vertical angles have
the same measure, so they are always
congruent.

MRP and NRQ are vertical angles.

MRN and PRQ are vertical angles
Adjacent angles are side by side and have a
common vertex and ray. Adjacent angles may or
may not be congruent.

MRN and NRQ are adjacent angles. They

share vertex R and RN.
NRQ and QRP are adjacent angles. They
share vertex R and RQ.
Adjacent angles are “side by side”
and share a common ray.

Adjacent and Supplementary Supplementary Angles

Angles but not Adjacent
 How can I remember that?
• Draw the S in Supplementary

S
• Since supplementary angles equal 180*, turn that S into a
number 8 by drawing a line diagonal, then add a 1 in front
of that and a 0 after to make it 180.
• So you change the S in supplementary into 180*!!

Adjacent and Complementary Complementary Angles

 How can I remember that?
• Draw the C in Complementary

C
• Since complementary angles equal 90*, turn that C into a
number 9 by drawing a line, then add a 0 after that to make
it 90.
• So you change the C in complementary into 90*!!

an unknown angle from given information about
them by finding a missing angle and scoring an
80% proficiency on an exit slip.
Remember: Two angles are supplementary if the sum
of their measures is 180 degrees. Each angle is the
supplement of the other.

1 2

20
160
These are supplements of each other
because their angles add up to 180.
 3 STEPS for Finding Missing
Angles:
1) First, create an addition equation by adding both angles.

1) The sum of the two angles will equal

90° for Complementary Angles and
180° for Supplementary Angles.

3) Solve the equation using the inverse rules!

Example 1 Find the value of x by making
an equation.

x 20

x + 20 = 180
x = 160
Example 2 Find the value of x by writing
your equation.

x 65

x + 65 = 180
x = 115
Two angles are complementary if the sum of their
measures is 90 degrees. Each angle is the
complement of the other.

2
30
60
These are complements of each other
because their angles add up to be 90.
Example 3 Find the value of x.

x + 15 = 90 15

x = 75
Now, think of what we talked about today.

Are angles 4 and 5 supplementary angles? no

Are angles 2 and 3 complementary angles? no

Are angles 4 and 3 supplementary angles? yes

Are angles 2 and 1 complementary angles? yes

Example 4 Find the value of x.

(4x + 3)
(x - 8)

(4x + 3) + (x - 8) = 90

5x - 5 = 90
5x = 95
x = 19
Example 5 Find the value of x.

(7x  10) 3x

(7x + 10) + 3x = 180

10x + 10 = 180
10x = 170
x = 17
