My students often can't remember which angles are
complementary and which ones are
supplementary. I always tell them to think of a really cheap wedding, where the complementary (free) drinks are limited to 90.
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. "C" for "cheap" and "c" for
complementary. A "superb" wedding (
supplementary) would offer 180 free drinks.
supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. "S" for "superb" and "s" for
supplementary. Failing that, I tell them that "c" comes before "s" in the alphabet and 90 comes before 180.
