Best Answer

A supplementary angle can be either adjacent or non-adjacent.

A linear pair must be adjacent and is never non-adjacent.

NOTE: They both add up to 180°.

What is the difference between a complementary angle and supplementary angle?

The sum of complementary angles is 90°. The sum of supplementary angles is 180°. EXAMPLE : 27° is the complementary angle to 63° and the supplementary angle to 153°.


Why do all linear angle pairs must be supplementary but all supplementary angles do not have to be linear pairs?

All supplementary angles would be linear pairs IF they were adjacent. But they could be far apart.


The negative difference between the measures of supplementary angles is -45. Find the measure of the larger angle?

112.5 degrees


What is the relationship between complementary and supplementary angles?

For any given angle, its supplementary angle is 90 degrees larger than its complementary angle.


What is the supplement of a 48 angle?

Supplementary angles add up to 180, so the supplement angle would be the difference between the angle and 180 degrees.So: 180 - 48 = 132 degrees


How do you remember the difference between complementary and supplementary angles?

Complementary angles are 90 degree angles while supplementary angels are 180 degree angles.You remember it by how complementary angle are 90 degrees more to get a supplementary angles.


What is the complement of a 25 degree angle?

Complementary angles add up to a right angle (90°). So 90° - 25° = 65° The way I remember the difference between complementary and supplementary is: think of a Straight line is 180° (Supplementary). Think of a Cross makes a 90° angle (Complementary)


What does supplement mean in math?

A supplement to an angle in Geometry is a second angle with a size equal to the difference between 180 degrees and the size of the first angle. If the size of two angles is 180 degrees, then the angles are 'supplementary".


What is the angle between the angle bisector of a linear pir?

A right angle.


Is it true or false supplementary angles are always linear pairs?

True only if the two angles are adjacent (i.e. have a point in common). By definition, supplementary angles add up to 180° therefore they are linear pairs, if they are adjacent. Otherwise false. Imagine drawing an angle of 40° at the top of the page and another of 140° at the bottom. These angles are supplementary but not a linear pair.


59 degree is supplementary to what angle?

What is the sum of the measure of a supplementary angle?

A supplementary angle can have any value - depending on the first angle.
