Supplementary Angles that are not a Linear Pair

Supplementary angles are two angles whose degrees add up to 180 degrees. A linear pair is formed when two angles are adjacent and their non common sides are opposite rays. In this picture, two non adjacent 90 degree angles are formed, thus creating supplementary angles, yet not a linear pair. 

Square linoleum floor tiles are shown. Squares are geometric figures: a polygon with four congruet sides and angles. Also, many lines are in this picture, which are what forms the angles. Only 180 degree and 90 degree angles are created by the floor tiles and their lines.

These floor tiles were found in our very own Doctor Martin's biology classroom on the second floor of Creeden. Tiles can come in many different shapes, forms, and colors. One use is for flooring and/or wall designs in rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens.
