Special Angle Pairs
Let’s consider several special pairs of angles.
Complementary angles are two angles whose measures have a
sum of 90 degrees.
Each angle is called a __________ of the other.
complement
Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures have a
sum of 180 degrees.
Each angle is called a ___________ of the other.

Two angles are adjacent if they have the same vertex and share a
side in common.
A linear pair is two angles which are adjacent and whose noncommon
sides form a straight line.
Postulate 1.3.5: Linear Pair Postulate
If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.
