Mrs. Kim's Types of Angles

Front

What is an adjacent angle?

Back

Adjacent angles are two angles that share a common side and a common vertex, but do not overlap.

Front

What are complementary angles?

Back

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What are supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What is a vertical angle?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

What is an acute angle?

Back

An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees.

Front

What is an obtuse angle?

Back

An obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Front

What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles are two adjacent angles that form a straight line, adding up to 180 degrees.

Front

If angle A is 30 degrees, what is the measure of its complementary angle?

Back

The complementary angle is 60 degrees (90 - 30 = 60).

Front

If angle B is 120 degrees, what is the measure of its supplementary angle?

Back

The supplementary angle is 60 degrees (180 - 120 = 60).

Front

What is the sum of the measures of two adjacent angles?

Back

The sum can vary; they can be complementary (90 degrees) or supplementary (180 degrees), or any other combination.
