Question

The angles between North and West and South and East are -

• A. complementary
• B. supplementary
• C. both are acute
• D. both are obtuse

Answer 1

The correct option is B

supplementary

Explanation for the correct option:

Finding the sum of angles between North and West and south and East

With the help of a diagram

The angle between North and West is $90°$,

The angle between South and East is $90°$as shown in the figure above.

So, $90°+90°=180°$

When the sum of the measures of two angles is 180°, then the angles are called supplementary angles.

Hence, the angles between North and West and South and East are supplementary.

Hence,option (B) is correct.
