A right angle consists of two adjacent complementary angles. If one angle measure is 35 degrees, what is the other angle measure?
145 degrees
55 degrees
65 degrees
125 degrees
A right angle consists of two 90-degree angles, which are always complementary. Therefore, the sum of the two complementary angles in a right angle is always 90 degrees. Since we are given that one angle measure is 35 degrees, we can subtract this from 90 to find the other angle measure:
90 degrees - 35 degrees = 55 degrees
Therefore, the other angle measure is 55 degrees.
