If two angles are complementary and one angle measures 35 degrees, what is the measure of the other angle?
35º + xº = 90º
Solve for x.
thank you for all your help PsyDAG
Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.
To find the measure of the other angle, subtract the measure of the given angle from 90 degrees.
In this case, the given angle measures 35 degrees, so the measure of the other angle is:
90 degrees - 35 degrees = 55 degrees.
Therefore, the measure of the other angle is 55 degrees.
