Solution

  1. True. Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees. Since an acute angle is any angle less than 90 degrees, both โˆ ๐‘‹ and โˆ ๐‘Œ must be acute for their sum to be 90 degrees.

  2. True. By definition, a midpoint divides a line segment into two equal parts. Therefore, if ๐‘‡ is the midpoint of ๐ด๐ต, then ๐ด๐‘‡ is congruent to ๐‘‡๐ต.

  3. False. Points ๐‘Š, ๐‘‹, and ๐‘Œ being on the same plane does not necessarily mean they are collinear. Collinear means that the points lie on the same line. For example, points could form a triangle and still be on the same plane but not be collinear.

  4. True. Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees. A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. The angles of a linear pair are always supplementary, so if โˆ 1 and โˆ 2 are supplementary, they form a linear pair.
