These two angles (40° and 50°) are Complementary Angles, because they add up to 90°: Notice that together they make a right angle. But the angles don't have to be together. These two are complementary because 27° + 63° = 90°.

In geometry, complementary angles are defined as two angles whose sum is 90 degrees. In other words, two angles that add up to 90 degrees are known as complementary angles. For example, if angle A is 20 degrees, then its complement angle B would be 70 degrees because 20 degrees + 70 degrees = 90 degrees.
Example 1: finding complementary angles (adjacent angles) The two angles shown, x and y, are complementary. Find the measure of angle x. Determine which angles are complementary. The question states that angles x and y are complementary and equal 90^{\circ}. x+y=90 . 2 Identify given angle measurements and the unknown angle or angles. Angle y ...
Complementary angles are a pair of angles that, when added together, equal 90°. In simpler terms, if you have ∠1 and ∠2, and their measures sum up to 90°, then ∠1 and ∠2 are considered complementary. We refer to ∠1 and ∠2 as each other's complements based on this relationship.

Problem 1 : Angles A and B are complementary. If m∠A = 3x - 8 and m∠B = 5x + 10, what is the measure of each angle ? Solution. Problem 2 : Angles Q and R are supplementary. If m∠Q = 4x + 9 and m∠R = 8x + 3, what is the measure of each angle ? Solution. Problem 3 :
Angle Theorems Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem. If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate exterior angles are congruent. Converse also true: If a transversal intersects two lines and the alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
