answer the question below to check your understanding and move forward in the course! this quiz is not graded.
true or false? your complementary/supplementary angles must share a leg in order for the relationship to be true.
select the correct answer
false
true

Explanation:

Complementary angles sum to \(90^\circ\) and supplementary angles sum to \(180^\circ\). These relationships depend only on the sum of the angles, not on their position (e.g., sharing a leg). For example, two angles \(30^\circ\) and \(60^\circ\) (complementary) can be separate, not sharing a leg, and still be complementary. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False
