Which pair of angles are called complementary angles?
Two angles that add up to 90°
Two angles that add up to 180°
Two adjacent angles
Two vertical angles
Complementary angles always sum to 90°, which distinguishes them from other angle pair types. This definition directly identifies the correct option, unlike supplementary or vertical angles.
Which pair of angles are known as supplementary angles?
Two angles that add up to 180°
Two angles that add up to 90°
Two vertical angles
Two angles forming a circle
Supplementary angles are defined as two angles whose measures sum to 180°. The correct answer directly reflects this definition while the other options refer to different angle relationships.
When two lines intersect, which statement is true about vertical angles?
They are always equal
They always add up to 90°
They are always complementary
They are always supplementary
Vertical angles are the pairs of opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines, and they are always equal. This property is fundamental in solving problems involving intersecting lines.
What defines a linear pair of angles?
Two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight line
Two angles that are vertical to each other
Two angles that add up to 90°
Two non-adjacent angles in a triangle
A linear pair consists of two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight line, adding up to 180°. This definition clearly differentiates a linear pair from other angle relationships.
What is the measure of a right angle?
90°
45°
180°
60°
A right angle measures exactly 90°, which is a basic and well-known fact in geometry. This distinguishes it from angles of other types such as acute or obtuse angles.
When a transversal cuts two parallel lines, which pair of angles are congruent?
Alternate interior angles
Supplementary angles
Adjacent angles
Linear pair
Alternate interior angles are congruent when a transversal intersects two parallel lines. This property is essential for many geometric proofs and problem-solving scenarios.
If two angles are supplementary and one angle measures 65°, what is the measure of the other angle?
115°
95°
125°
145°
Supplementary angles sum to 180°, so subtracting 65° from 180° gives 115°. This calculation directly applies the definition of supplementary angles.
When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are:
Congruent
Supplementary
Complementary
Bisected
Corresponding angles are congruent when a transversal intersects parallel lines. This fact is a cornerstone of understanding parallel line geometry.
In a triangle, an exterior angle is equal to:
The sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles
The difference between the two adjacent interior angles
The sum of all three interior angles
The measure of one interior angle
An exterior angle in a triangle equals the sum of the two interior angles that are not adjacent to it. This is a well-established property in triangle geometry.
Two angles are complementary. If one angle is 30°, what is the measure of its complement?
60°
90°
120°
30°
Complementary angles add up to 90°, so the complement of a 30° angle is 60°. This follows directly from the definition of complementary angles.
When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the consecutive interior angles are:
Supplementary
Complementary
Congruent
Vertical
Consecutive interior angles on the same side of a transversal in parallel lines add up to 180°, making them supplementary. This is a fundamental property in parallel line geometry.
If two angles form a linear pair and one angle is x degrees, what is the measure of the other angle?
180 - x
x/2
90 - x
180 + x
A linear pair of angles always sums to 180°. Therefore, if one angle is x degrees, the other must be 180 - x degrees. This calculation directly follows from the definition of a linear pair.
Two intersecting lines create two pairs of vertical angles. If one of the angles is 70°, what is the measure of the angle adjacent to it?
110°
70°
90°
100°
The angle adjacent to a 70° angle forms a linear pair with it, meaning their sum must be 180°. Subtracting 70° from 180° gives 110°. Vertical angles being equal is a separate concept.
Two supplementary angles are in the ratio 1:3. What are their measures?
45° and 135°
30° and 90°
60° and 120°
40° and 140°
Let the angles be x and 3x; since they are supplementary, x + 3x = 180° leads to 4x = 180° and x = 45°. Thus, the angles measure 45° and 135°, which is the only pair that meets both the given ratio and the supplementary condition.
For two lines cut by a transversal, if an alternate exterior angle measures 80°, what does its alternate exterior angle measure?
80°
100°
90°
70°
Alternate exterior angles are congruent when the lines are parallel, so if one angle is 80°, its alternate exterior angle must also be 80°. This property confirms the correct answer.
In a regular hexagon, what is the measure of each exterior angle?
60°
90°
120°
72°
The exterior angles of any polygon always sum to 360°. In a regular hexagon, there are 6 equal exterior angles, so each measures 360°/6 = 60°. This calculation relies on the constant sum property of exterior angles.
Two lines intersect, forming angles expressed as algebraic expressions. One angle is represented by (2x + 10)° and its adjacent angle is represented by (3x - 20)°. Find the value of x.
38
40
36
42
Since the given angles form a linear pair, their sum is 180°. Setting up the equation (2x + 10) + (3x - 20) = 180 leads to 5x - 10 = 180. Solving for x gives x = 38, which is the correct value.
In a pair of parallel lines cut by a transversal, if one interior angle is expressed as (5x + 15)° and its consecutive interior angle is (3x + 25)°, what is the measure of the angle expressed as (5x + 15)°?
102.5°
97.5°
110°
100°
Consecutive interior angles are supplementary, so (5x + 15) + (3x + 25) = 180°. Solving this gives 8x + 40 = 180° and x = 17.5. Substituting x back into (5x + 15) results in 102.5°, confirming the correct answer.
In a pair of parallel lines cut by a transversal, if an alternate interior angle is represented by (4y - 5)° and its corresponding alternate interior angle is represented by (2y + 25)°, what is the value of y?
15
10
20
25
Alternate interior angles in parallel lines are congruent. Setting (4y - 5) equal to (2y + 25) leads to 2y = 30, so y = 15. This confirms the equality and the correct value of y.
A 72° angle is divided by a ray into two adjacent angles such that the larger angle is twice the measure of the smaller. If the larger angle is represented by (3z + 6)°, what is the measure of the smaller angle?
24°
36°
30°
28°
Dividing a 72° angle in a 2:1 ratio yields angles of 48° and 24°. Since the larger angle is represented by (3z + 6)° and must equal 48°, solving that confirms the division. Therefore, the smaller angle measures 24°.
