Definition of Supplementary Angles

We say that two angles are supplementary if their sum is equal to \(180^\circ\).

Supplementary angles need not be adjacent (next to each other), they just have to add up to \(180^\circ\).

For example,

  • \(50^\circ\) and \(130^\circ\) are supplementary angles.
  • \(113^\circ\) and \(67^\circ\) are supplementary angles.
  • The adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary angles.
