1. Find the supplementary angles of
(a)
80
o
 (b)
90
o
 (c)
100
o
 (d)
150
o
 
Sol:
(a) Let
o
 x
be the supplementary angle of
80
o
 Then
80 180
o o o
 x
+ =
(Since sum of the supplementary angles =
180
o
)or
180 80
o o o
 x
= −
(By transposing
80
o
to RHS)or
100
o o
 x
=
 Thus, supplementary angle of
80
o
is
100
o
 (b) Let
o
 x
be the supplementary angle of
90
o
 Then
90 180
o o o
 x
+ =
(Since sum of the supplementary angles =
180
o
)or
180 90
o o o
 x
= −
(By transposing
90
o
to RHS)or
90
o o
 x
=
 Thus, supplementary angle of
90
o
is
90
o
 (c) Let
o
 x
be the supplementary angle of
100
o
 Then
100 180
o o o
 x
+ =
(Since sum of the supplementary angles =
180
o
)or
180 100
o o o
 x
= −
(By transposing
100
o
to RHS)or
80
o o
 x
=
 Thus, supplementary angle of
100
o
is
80
o
 (d) Let
o
 x
be the supplementary angle of
150
o
 Then
150 180
o o o
 x
+ =
(Since sum of the supplementary angles =
180
o
)
 
or
180 150
o o o
 x
= −
(By transposing
150
o
to RHS)or
30
o o
 x
=
 Thus, supplementary angle of
150
o
is
30

2. Find an angle which is equal to
(a) One-half of its complement(b) One-fourth of its supplement
Sol:
(a) Let
o
 x
be the required angle.Then its complement =
90
o o
 x
−
 As the angle is equal to
12
of the complement
1(90 )2
o o o
 x x
= −
 By crossing multiplying, we get
2 (90 )
o o o
 x x
= −
 or
2 90
o o o
 x x
+ =
(By transposing
o
 x
to LHS)or
3 90
o o
 x
=
 or
903
oo
 x
=
 or
30
o o
 x
=
 Therefore Degree measure of the required angle is
30
o
 (b) Let
o
 x
be the required angle.Then its supplement =
180
o o
 x
−
 As the angle is equal to
14
of the supplement
1(180 )4
o o o
 x x
= −
 By crossing multiplying, we get
 
4 (180 )
o o o
 x x
= −
 or
4 180
o o o
 x x
+ =
(By transposing
o
 x
to LHS)or
5 180
o o
 x
=
 or
1805
oo
 x
=
 or
36
o o
 x
=
 Therefore Degree measure of the required angle is
36

1
∠
?Sol:
In the figure,
2
∠
and
3
∠
form a linear pair.
2 3 180
∠ +∠ =

 or
3 180 50
o o
∠ = −
(Transposing
