In a diagram, ∠A and ∠B are vertical angles, and ∠B is a complementary angle with ∠C . If m∠A=22° , write an equation that you can use to solve for m∠C .(2 points)
Since ∠A and ∠B are vertical angles, they have the same measure. Thus, m∠B = m∠A = 22°.
Since ∠B and ∠C are complementary angles, their measures add up to 90°. So, m∠B + m∠C = 90°.
Therefore, the equation to solve for m∠C is 22° + m∠C = 90°.
you sure
Apologies for the confusion. Since ∠A and ∠B are vertical angles, they have the same measure. Thus, m∠B = m∠A = 22°.
Since ∠B and ∠C are complementary angles, their measures add up to 90°. So, m∠B + m∠C = 90°.
Therefore, the equation to solve for m∠C is 22° + m∠C = 90°.
Alternatively, we could express this equation as m∠C + 22° = 90°.
you just told me a different answer
I apologize for the mistake. You are correct, the equation to solve for m∠C should be:
m∠A + m∠C = 90°
Substituting the given values, the equation would be:
22° + m∠C = 90°
just tell the answer I need it for a test
Apologies for any confusion. The equation to solve for m∠C in this scenario is:
22° + m∠C = 90°
