Key concepts

3 concepts

  1. 1

    Supplementary angles are two or more angles that add up to 180 degrees.

  2. 2

    If two angles are supplementary, you can set up an equation where the sum of the angles equals 180° and then solve for the unknown angle.

  3. 3

    When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, angles on a flat line are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees, allowing you to solve for variables like x.
