Supplementary Angles: The Dynamic Duo!
Imagine two angles that are like best friends who always add up to 180 degrees. We call these "Supplementary Angles"!
What Are Supplementary Angles?
Two angles that, when put together, make a straight line
They always add up to exactly 180 degrees
Like two magical puzzle pieces that create a perfect straight path
Fun Way to Understand
Think of supplementary angles like:
Two superhero friends who team up to make a complete line
Two pizza slices that together make a full pizza
Special angle friends who complete each other's line
Examples
90° and 90° are supplementary angles (90 + 90 = 180)
45° and 135° are supplementary angles (45 + 135 = 180)
60° and 120° are supplementary angles (60 + 120 = 180)
