What do we call two angles whose measures add up to 90°?
Complementary angles
Supplementary angles
Adjacent angles
Vertical angles
Two angles that sum to 90° are defined as complementary angles. Supplementary angles sum to 180°, vertical angles are congruent angles formed by intersecting lines, and adjacent angles share a side.
What is the sum of the measures of supplementary angles?
180°
360°
90°
270°
By definition, supplementary angles add up to 180°. A sum of 90° is for complementary angles, 360° is the sum around a point, and 270° is unrelated here.
Which pair of angles are always congruent when two lines intersect?
Alternate interior angles
Vertical angles
Adjacent angles
Supplementary angles
Vertical angles are the nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines and are always congruent. Adjacent angles share a side but are not necessarily equal, and supplementary angles sum to 180°.
If one angle of a pair of vertical angles measures 130°, what is the measure of the other angle?
130°
90°
50°
40°
Vertical angles are always congruent, so if one is 130°, the vertically opposite angle is also 130°.
Two angles share a common side and their measures add up to 180°. What is this pair called?
Complementary angles
Corresponding angles
Vertical angles
Linear pair
A linear pair consists of two adjacent angles whose nonshared sides form a straight line and sum to 180°. Vertical angles are congruent but not a linear pair, complementary sum to 90°, and corresponding angles relate to parallel lines and a transversal.
If two angles are complementary and one angle measures x° and the other measures 2x°, what is x?
60
30
20
45
Complementary angles sum to 90°, so x + 2x = 90 gives 3x = 90, hence x = 30.
If angle₝ = (3x + 10)° and angle₂ = (2x + 20)°, and they are supplementary, what is x?
10
30
20
40
Supplementary angles sum to 180°, so (3x + 10) + (2x + 20) = 180, which simplifies to 5x + 30 = 180, giving x = 30.
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and a corresponding angle measures 120°. What is the measure of its corresponding angle on the other parallel line?
180°
120°
60°
90°
Corresponding angles formed by a transversal with two parallel lines are congruent, so the matching angle is also 120°.
In parallel lines cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are given as 3x° and (2x + 15)°. What is x?
15
5
10
20
Alternate interior angles are congruent when lines are parallel, so 3x = 2x + 15, which gives x = 15.
If two vertical angles are given as (4x - 20)° and (3x + 10)°, find x.
40
10
30
20
Vertical angles are congruent, so set 4x - 20 = 3x + 10 to get x = 30.
A ladder leans against a wall making a 70° angle with the ground. What is the angle between the ladder and the wall?
110°
70°
90°
20°
The ladder and wall form complementary angles with the ground; since the ladder meets the ground at 70°, the angle with the wall is 90° - 70° = 20°.
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the consecutive interior angles are (5x + 15)° and (3x + 45)°. Find x.
20
15
10
5
Consecutive interior angles sum to 180°, so (5x + 15) + (3x + 45) = 180 gives 8x + 60 = 180, hence x = 15.
Two angles form a linear pair and are given by (x + 20)° and (4x - 30)°. What is x?
32
30
34
38
Linear pair angles sum to 180°, so (x + 20) + (4x - 30) = 180 yields 5x - 10 = 180 and x = 38.
For two parallel lines cut by a transversal, alternate exterior angles are (2x + 40)° and (x + 70)°. What is x?
20
10
30
40
Alternate exterior angles are congruent, so set 2x + 40 = x + 70 to get x = 30.
Which of the following statements about angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal is FALSE?
Consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
Corresponding angles are congruent.
Alternate interior angles are congruent.
Vertical angles are supplementary.
Vertical angles are congruent, not supplementary. The other three statements correctly describe parallel line angle relationships.
In a diagram, lines l and m are parallel and t is a transversal. At the intersection with l, angle1 = (4x + 10)° and angle2 is adjacent forming a linear pair with angle1. Angle2 corresponds to an angle3 on m, where angle3 = (3x - 5)°. What is x?
25
20
35
30
First, angle1 + angle2 = 180° so angle2 = 180 - (4x + 10) = 170 - 4x. Corresponding angles are equal, so set 170 - 4x = 3x - 5, giving 7x = 175 and x = 25.
In a right triangle, the two acute angles are (2x + 10)° and (x + 20)°. What is x?
20
25
30
15
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary (sum to 90°), so (2x + 10) + (x + 20) = 90 gives 3x + 30 = 90, hence x = 20.
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. If an alternate exterior angle measures (3x + 15)° and its alternate exterior counterpart measures (4x - 5)°, what is x?
15
20
25
10
Alternate exterior angles are congruent when lines are parallel, so 3x + 15 = 4x - 5. Solving gives x = 20.
In parallel lines cut by a transversal, a corresponding angle is (5x - 20)° and its match is (2x + 10)°. Find x.
15
5
20
10
Corresponding angles are equal for parallel lines, so set 5x - 20 = 2x + 10, giving 3x = 30 and x = 10.
Two lines intersect, creating vertical angles. If one vertical angle measures (x + 20)° and the opposite angle measures (2x - 10)°, what is x?
10
40
20
30
Vertical angles are congruent, so x + 20 = 2x - 10. Solving gives x = 30.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Understand Complementary and Supplementary Angles - Think of complementary angles as two buddies teaming up to make a perfect 90° angle high-five, while supplementary angles link up to form a straight 180° line. For instance, a 30° slice pairs with a 60° complement or with a 150° supplement for different geometry adventures. Mastering these angle duos is like having a secret weapon for all your angle puzzles.
  2. Identify Vertical Angles - When two lines cross paths, they create opposite angles that mirror each other perfectly - these are vertical angles. Spot a 45° angle on one side, and you've got another 45° looking back at you on the opposite side. Recognizing these equal pairs turns tricky intersection problems into easy wins.
  3. Recognize Adjacent Angles - Adjacent angles are neighbors: they share a common side and vertex but don't overlap. They might team up to be complementary, supplementary, or just hang out side by side, depending on their measures. Spotting these adjacent angle buddies helps you break down complex shapes into simpler pieces.
  4. Apply the Angle Sum Property of Triangles - Every triangle's interior angles always add up to 180°, no matter how it twists or turns. If you know two angles, you can always find the third by subtraction - very handy for cracking geometry riddles. It's like the golden rule of triangles that never lets you down.
  5. Explore Angle Relationships in Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal - When a transversal line swoops through parallel lines, it creates matching corresponding angles, equal alternate interior angles, and supplementary consecutive interior angles. These patterns are your clues to solving puzzles with parallel lines. Spotting them feels like decoding a secret angle language!
  6. Utilize Algebra to Solve for Unknown Angles - Turn your angle relationships into equations to uncover hidden measures. If two angles are supplementary and one is 70°, simply solve 70° + x = 180° to reveal x = 110°. Mixing algebra with geometry is like adding superpowers to your math toolkit!
  7. Understand Linear Pairs of Angles - A linear pair is two adjacent angles whose outer sides form a straight line, always summing to 180°. Spotting a straight-line duo means you can instantly find the missing angle when one is known. It's a quick trick that saves time on homework!
  8. Recognize Alternate Interior and Exterior Angles - When a transversal cuts across parallel lines, alternate interior angles sit inside the lines on opposite sides and are equal, while alternate exterior angles do the same job outside the lines. Identifying these twins helps you conquer any parallel-lines challenge. It's geometry's version of "spot the twin."
  9. Apply Angle Relationships to Real-World Scenarios - Architects and engineers rely on precise angle relationships to design skyscrapers, bridges, and everyday gadgets. Understanding how angles complement or supplement each other ensures structures stay safe and designs look fabulous. Real-world geometry brings math off the page and into the world around you!
  10. Master Quick Calculation Strategies for Unknown Angles - Develop shortcuts like spotting complementary or supplementary pairs at a glance to speed through complex diagrams. With practice, you'll instantly recognize angle patterns without writing a single equation. Fast strategies make you a geometry ninja in no time!
