Ex 5.1, 7 Can two angles be supplementary if both of them are: (i) acute? We know that
If two angles are supplementary, their sum is 180°.
If both angles are acute
Angle 1 < 90°
Angle 2 < 90°
Example: 30 ° & 85°
30° + 85 ° = 115°
≠ 180°
Since sum is not 180°,
they are not supplementary
Let’s take another example.
If Angles are 89° & 89°
89° + 89° = 178°
≠ 180°
Since sum is not 180°,
they are not supplementary
Ex 5.1, 7 Can two angles be supplementary if both of them are: (ii) obtuse? We know that
If two angles are supplementary, their sum is 180°.
If both angles are obtuse
Angle 1 > 90°
Angle 2 > 90°
Example: 100 ° & 120°
100° + 120° = 220°
≠ 180°
Since sum is not 180°,
they are not supplementary
Let’s take another example.
If Angles are 91° & 91°
91° + 91° = 182°
≠ 180°
Since sum is not 180°,
they are not supplementary
Ex 5.1, 7 Can two angles be supplementary if both of them are: (iii) right? We know that
If two angles are supplementary, their sum is 180°.
If both the angles are right angles.
Angle 1 = 90°
Angle 2 = 90°
Here,
Angle 1 + Angle 2
= 90° + 90°
= 180°
Since, sum of both angles is 180°
So, they are supplementary.
