What are supplementary angles?

[GarfieldN4]

Can someone explain what supplementary angles are? I want to understand how two angles add up to 180° and see some practical examples.

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees. They can be adjacent, forming a straight line, or non-adjacent. For example, if one angle measures 70° and the other 110°, together they are supplementary because 70° + 110° = 180°. This concept is fundamental in geometry.

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to exactly 180 degrees. They can be adjacent, forming a straight line, or non-adjacent. Each angle is the supplement of the other, and together they create a straight angle when placed side by side.

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees. They can be adjacent, forming a straight line, or non-adjacent, located separately but still totaling 180°. For example, if one angle measures 110°, the other must measure 70° to make them supplementary.
