Solution

The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90º and that of supplementary anglesis 180º.

(i) 65°, 115°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 65º + 115º = 180°

∴ These angles are supplementary angles.

(ii) 63°, 27°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 63º + 27º = 90°

∴ These angles are complementary angles.

(iii) 112°, 68°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 112º + 68º = 180°

∴ These angles are supplementary angles.

(iv) 130°, 50°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 130º + 50º = 180°

∴ These angles are supplementary angles.

(v) 45°, 45°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 45º + 45º = 90°

∴ These angles are complementary angles.

(vi) 80°, 10°

Sum of the measures of these angles = 80º + 10º = 90°

∴ These angles are complementary angles.
