Complementary, supplementary, linear pair

  • Complementary: two angles that sum to 90°. Example: 30° + 60°.
  • Supplementary: two angles that sum to 180°. Example: 110° + 70°.
  • Linear pair: two angles on a straight line — they ARE supplementary.
  • Vertically opposite angles: when two lines cross, angles directly opposite are EQUAL.
Example
One angle is 35°. Complement = 55°. Supplement = 145°.
💡 Tip:C = 'Corner' (90°). S = 'Straight' (180°). Alphabetical matches numerical.
