Question

1. which statement about the picture below is true? the angles are supplementary. both angles are adjacent. the angles are complementary. both angles appear to be acute angles.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - related definitions

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, adjacent angles share a common side and a common vertex. Acute angles are less than 90 degrees.

Step2: Analyze the given angles

The two angles in the picture do not share a common side and vertex (not adjacent), their sum is not 90 degrees (not complementary) and not 180 degrees (not supplementary). They both appear to be less than 90 degrees.

Answer:

Both angles appear to be acute angles.
