[size=200][size=100]Use the applet below to answer the questions that appear beneath it. [/size][/size]
1
Use the slider to adjust the measures of the [b][color=#ff00ff]pink[/color][/b] and [b][color=#0000ff]blue[/color][/b] angles. What do you notice about the [color=#ff00ff][b]pink[/b][/color] [b][color=#ff00ff]angle[/color][/b] as the [color=#0000ff][b]blue angle[/b][/color] increases?
2
In the applet above, the [b][color=#0000ff]blue angle[/color][/b] and the [b][color=#ff00ff]pink angle[/color][/b] are said to be [b]supplementary angles[/b]. Given this information, determine the supplement of a 55° angle.
3
What is the supplement of a 1-degree angle?
4
Do supplementary angles have to be adjacent? Explain your thinking.
