Supplementary Angle: Math Open Reference

The document provides instructions for constructing supplementary angles using a compass and straightedge. It begins by taking an initial angle BAC and extending one of its legs, AC, away from the interior of the angle. This creates two new angles: the given angle BAC and a new angle DAB. These two angles are supplementary, meaning their measures sum to 180 degrees. The document then lists other angle and geometric shape constructions that can be done using a compass and straightedge.

Supplementary angle

After doing this Your work should look like this

Start with a angle BAC.

1. Extend either leg


(here AC) backwards,
away from the interior of
the angle.

Done. The angle


∠DAB and the given
angle ∠BAC are
supplementary.
(I.E. they add to 180°)
