Did you think that you had already learned the names of all the angles? Ha! Here are some more!

complementary angles: two angles whose sum is 90°. In these two angles, if you add the angle measures, you find that 25° + 65° = 90° so these angles are complementary angles.

complementaryangle1a

supplementary angles: two angles whose sum is 180°. In these two angles, if you add the angle measures, you find that 50° + 130° = 180° so these angles are complementary angles.

straight angle: an angle that measures exactly 180°.

So, how does this work?

Let's see…let's take a look at some angles to see if we 'get' the concept, okay? Here's a bunch of angles with their measures. Let's see if we can understand Complementary and Supplementary angles based on the definitions above.
