Tell whether the statement is always, sometimes, or never true. Explain.

1. If x and y are supplementary angles, then y is acute.

2. If x and y are complementary angles, then x is obtuse.

Sagot :

Answer:

1. If x and y are supplementary angles, then y is sometimes acute because supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180 degrees. So, y can be acute while x can be obtuse, y can be obtuse while x can be acute, or both can be right angles.

2. If x and y are complementary angles, then x is never obtuse. Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees, and obtuse angles are angles over 90 degrees, so it's impossible to have an obtuse angle as a complementary angle.

Answer:

1) Sometimes

2) Never

Step-by-step explanation:

1) you could have two angles add up to 180 degrees and one of them could be less than 90

example, x = 140° and y = 40°

2) if two angles are complementary then their sum is 90° so neither angle must be less than 90°, thereby making them both acute angles
