Supplementary angles

The question
25°x degrees

Angles on a straight line, one is 25°

How it works.

25°+x=180°
180 − 25 =155°
25°+155°=180°
from the picture, not the numbers
lines crossing:x = the angle opposite
  1. 01

    The two angles sit on a straight line, and a straight line is 180°.

  2. 02

    So the two must add to 180: x = 180 − 25 = 155°.

  3. 03

    Check it: 25 + 155 = 180.

  4. 04

    Good to know too: where two lines cross, the angles facing each other are equal.
