Given the figure at the right, answer the following:
1. What is the relationship between
and
?
• Angles a and b are complementary. Their measures add up to 90° and they form a right angle.
2. How about
and
?
• Angles DXY and b are supplementary. Their measures add up to 180° and they form a straight angle.
3. If
, what is the measure of
?
• The measure of
is 37°.
• Since angles a and b are complementary, you just need to subtract 53° from 90° to get the value of angle b.
4. If
, what is the measure of
?
• The measure of
is 127°.
• Since angles a and XYC are supplementary, you just need to subtract 53° from 180° to get the value of angle YXC.
5. If
, what is the measure of
?
• The measure of
is 49°.
• Since angles a and b are complementary, you just need to subtract 41° from 90° to get the value of angle b.
6. What is the measure of
?
• The sum of all the angles is 360°. If there are four angles and one of them is a right angle, then the others are right angles also. Thus,
measures 90°.
