Supplementary Angles
Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures equals . When two angles are supplementary, each angle is called the supplement of the other. For example, angles measuring and are supplementary because . This property provides a useful relationship: if and represent the measures of two supplementary angles, then:
This equation can be paired with a second relationship between the angles to create a system of equations for solving angle problems.
