Two angles are ____ if they have the same measure.
- A.
Linear
- B.
Congruent
- C.
Supplementary
Correct Answer
B. CongruentExplanation
Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure. Congruent angles are identical in size and shape, even if they are in different positions or orientations. This means that if two angles have the same measure, they can be considered congruent. Linear angles are angles that are on the same straight line and add up to 180 degrees, while supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees when combined. However, neither of these options describes angles that have the same measure, so the correct answer is congruent.Rate this question:
-
- 20.
Two angles are supplementary if they sum to 90 degrees.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Supplementary angles are actually angles that sum up to 180 degrees, not 90 degrees. When two angles are supplementary, it means that they form a straight line and together make a straight angle. A straight angle measures 180 degrees, so the statement that two angles are supplementary if they sum to 90 degrees is incorrect.Rate this question:
-
- 21.
Two angles are complementary if they sum of 90 degrees.
