In the previous segment, we learned about Complementary angles and their types. We now learn about Supplementary angles and vertically opposite angles.
What are Supplementary angles?
Two angles having a sum of 180∘are said to be Supplementary angles. There are two types of supplementary angles:
Adjacent supplementary angles
Two angles having a common arm, a common angle vertex, and the sum of their measures equal to 180∘are known as Adjacent supplementary angles.
They are also known as Linear angles.
Adjacent supplementary angles
Non-adjacent supplementary angles
Two angles having a sum of 180∘but no common arm and common angle vertex, are known as Non-adjacent supplementary angles.
