Answer:
An angle measuring 100 degrees would be supplementary to any angle measuring 80 degrees, but it cannot be called supplementary by itself. "Complementary" and "supplementary" are terms that describe the relationship between two angles. They are comparative words like "larger."
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 21°
y = 29°
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Solving for x
Note that:
(3x - 3)° and 60° are Alternate interior angles, and alternate interior angles are equal to each other, hence:
3x - 3 = 60° (Alternate interior angles)
Add 3 to both sides
3x - 3 +3 = 60 + 3
3x = 63°
x = 63°/3
x = 21°
b) Solving for y
Notes that:
(3x - 3)° and (4y + 4)° are Consecutive interior angles and the sum consecutive interior angles is 180°
3x - 3 + 4y + 4 = 180°
3x + 4y - 3 + 4 = 180°
3x + 4y + 1 = 180°
Note that x = 21
Hence
3(21) + 4y + 1 = 180°
63 + 1 + 4y = 180°
64 + 4y = 180°
Subtract 64 from both sides
64 - 64 + 4y = 180° - 64
4y = 116°
y = 116/4
y => 29°
The unsimplified fraction is 8/12 which can be reduced to 2/3
