Word Bank: complementary angles, supplementary angles, vertical angles, adjacent angles

Answer :

This is a comparison of Complementary vs. Supplementary Angles.

Angles can be related to each other in different ways. Let's compare and contrast two terms from the word bank: complementary angles and supplementary angles.

Complementary Angles:

Add up to 90 degrees (one right angle).

Imagine two angles like puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly to form a right angle.

Often found next to each other on a straight line.

Supplementary Angles:

Add up to 180 degrees (a straight line).

Think of two angles like two straight lines extending from a common point, forming a straight line when combined.

Can be opposite each other or next to each other on a straight line.
