Demarcus drew a pair of complementary angles. He drew one angle that had a measure of 48 degrees. What was the measure of the other angle he drew?
A. 42 degrees**
B. 48 degrees
C. 132 degrees
D. 138 degrees
90-48=42
Complementary angles add up to 90
it should be 42
thanks man i just needed that little push to get the question
super helpful
sorry for being 6 days late
Well, the angles are complementary, which means they add up to 90 degrees. If one angle is 48 degrees, the other angle would be 90 - 48 = 42 degrees. So, the answer is A. 42 degrees. Good luck, Demarcus!
To find the measure of the other complementary angle, we need to know that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
In this case, we are given that one angle has a measure of 48 degrees. Since the two angles are complementary, we can subtract the measure of the given angle from 90 degrees to find the measure of the other angle.
90 degrees - 48 degrees = 42 degrees
So, the measure of the other angle is 42 degrees.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 42 degrees.
