The supplement of an 80 degree angle is an 100 degree angle.
a 10-degree angle
Construct a 90 degree angle isosceles triangle which will have equal sides and then divide the base into 9 equal parts joining the parts by lines to the apex of the trangle. Each line represents 10 degrees and 8 lines will equal to 80 degrees.
Let the first angle be x the second angle be 4x and the third angle be 80+4x+x: x+4x+80+4x+x = 180 Collect like terms: 10x = 180-80 10x = 100 x = 10 Therefore the measure of the second angle is 40 degrees.
Draw a point, and a long straight line through it. Put the centre of the compass over the point, with north on the compass (or zero degrees) on the line. Then draw a second line out from the point at 80 degrees on the compass. You'll then have a 80 degree angle between the lines. It's usually a trick that teachers decide to do on their pupils. A compass is what you use to find north and a pair of compasses is used to draw circles.
