Before You Begin (Prerequisites)

Revise relevant arithmetic and ideas from the previous grade.

What You Will Learn (Core Objectives)

Complementary angles sum to 90°; supplementary angles sum to 180°. Vertically opposite angles are equal. Adjacent angles need not sum to 180° unless they form a linear pair. For parallel lines, corresponding and alternate interior angles are equal.

Concept and method

Complementary angles sum to 90°; supplementary angles sum to 180°. Vertically opposite angles are equal. Adjacent angles need not sum to 180° unless they form a linear pair. For parallel lines, corresponding and alternate interior angles are equal.

Check and common pitfall

Use the supplementary sum of 180°, not 90°.

Key Formulas, Identities & Theorems

Key relationships

Linear pair: x + y = 180°; complementary: x + y = 90°

Observe the stated conditions and units.

Conceptual Solved Examples & Case Studies

Example 1

One angle in a linear pair is 65°. Find the other.

Step-by-Step Solution:

180° − 65° = 115°

Use the supplementary sum of 180°, not 90°.
