Write and solve an equation to find the complement of an angle that measures 42 degrees.
THX!
two complementary angles add up to 90.
So, what do you have to add to 42 to get 90?
To find the complement of an angle, you need to subtract the angle measure from 90 degrees.
In this case, the angle measures 42 degrees.
So, the complement of this angle is given by:
Complement = 90 degrees - 42 degrees
Now, let's simplify this equation to find the complement:
Complement = 48 degrees
Therefore, the complement of an angle that measures 42 degrees is 48 degrees.
