they're supplementary

Two angles are supplementary if their sum measures 180 degrees. The measure of the first angle is 36 degrees less than three times the second angle. If the angles are x and y, x = 3y - 36 and x + y = 180, i.e., x = 180 - y 180 - y = 3y - 36 4y = 216 y = 54 The two measures.are 126 and 54.

c. Supplementary.
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, triangles require three angles not two, and to form a linear pair two angles need to be adjacent, which you didn't specify, as well as adding up to 180 degrees.
Supplementary angles only need to add up to 180 degrees.

it is c) supplementary
this is becuase supplementary means that angles add up to 180 degrees
think of it like this,
supplementary = (sounds like) supper table
the supper table is flat, hence 180 degrees.

are supplementary, by definition.
"Complimentary" means they add up to 90 deg, and triangles require three angles.

C. they are supplementary. That's the definition. No other explanation really.
