the second figure.


               Complementary              If the sum of two angles
               Angles                      is 90° then they are said
                                           to be complementary
                                           angles.
                                          Or you can say that two
                                           angles which make up a
                                           right angle are called
                                           Complementary Angle.

               Supplementary              If the sum of two angles
               Angles                      is 180° then they are
                                           said to be
                                           supplementary angles. If
                                           two angles are
                                           supplementary then they
                                           are the supplement to
                                           each other.




               Adjacent                   It is the pair of two
               Angles                      angles which are placed
                                           next to each other.

                                    Adjacent angles have-

                                          A common vertex.

                                          A common arm.

                                          A non-common arm
                                           could be on either side
                                           of the common arm.
               Linear Pair                A pair of adjacent angles
                                           whose non-common arm
                                           makes a single line i.e.
                                           they are the opposite
                                           rays.
                                          A linear pair is also a
                                           pair of supplementary
                                           angles as their sum is
                                           180°.
                                          The pair of angles is–
