| Supplement Theorem | If <1 and <2 form a linear pair, then m<1 + m<2 = 180. |
| Complement Theorem | If the noncommon sides of two adjacemt angles form a right angle, then the angles are complementary angles. |
| If m<1 + m<2 = 180 and m<2 + m<3 = 180, then <1 = <2. | Angles supplementary to the same angle or to congruent angles are congruent. |
