Use your understanding of complementary, supplementary, and alternate angles to find the missing angles in the figures below. For help, see this lesson on Angle Relationships. (Page 1 of 3)
1. Calculate the value of angle x and complete the sentence below to describe the relationship between the two angles.

example of two complementary angles

 

x =   30°  

The 60° angle and angle x are   complementary   angles.
 
2. Calculate the value of angle x and complete the sentence below to describe the relationship between the two angles.

example of two supplementary angles

 

x =   50°  

The 130° angle and angle x are   supplementary   angles.

3. Calculate the values of angles a, b, and c and complete the sentence that describes their relationship .

two intersecting lines with four angles marked

a =   155°  

b =   25°  

c =   155°  

Angles a and c are   opposite   angles.
4. Complete the table below to show the values of the missing angles and the basis for your calculations. (note: there may be more than one correct basis for each)

two parallel lines with a transversal
a = 105° because a = e (corresponding angles)
b = 75° because b = 180° – a (supplementary angles)
c = 105° because a = c (opposite angles)
d = 75° because d = b (opposite angles)
e = 105° because e = 105° (opposite angles).
f = 75° because f = 180° – e (supplementary angles)
h = 75° because h = 180° – 105° (supplementary angles)

5. Use what you know about the sum of the angles in a triangle together with the properties of supplementary angles to calculate the missing angles in the figure below.

 

truss-like figure with missing angles indictaed

 

a = 35° because 80° + 65° + a = 180° (supplementary angles)

a = 180° – 145°

b = 50° because 35° + 95° + b = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
b = 180° – 130°
c = 85° because c + 95° = 180° (supplementary angles)
d = 30° because 65° + 85° + c = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
d = 180° – 150°

The various resources listed below are aligned to the same standard, (8G05) taken from the CCSM (Common Core Standards For Mathematics) as the Geometry Worksheet shown above.

Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so.
