Therefore, the value of x for which the angles (2x – 5) and (x – 10) are the
0
complementary angles is 35 .
5. Find the angle whose complement is one third of its supplement.

6 Define the following terms:
(i) Angle
(ii) Interior of an angle
(iii) Obtuse angle
(iv) Reflex angle
(v) Complementary angles
(vi) Supplementary angles
Solution:(i) Angle – When two rays originate from the same end point, then an
angle is formed.
(ii) Interior of an angle – The interior of ∠BAC is the set of all points in its plane
which lie on the same side of AB as C and also on the same side of AC as B.

(iii) Obtuse angle – An angle whose measure is more than 90 but less than 180
is called an obtuse angle.
(iv) Reflex angle – An angle whose measure is more than 180o but less than
360o is called a reflex angle.
(v) Complementary angles – Two angles are said to be complementary, if the
0
sum of their measure is 90 .
(vi) Supplementary angles – Two angles are said to be supplementary if the sum
