Two angles are complementary. One angle has a measure of 40° and the other has a measure of (82* + 2) ". What is the value of a ? (1 point)
Given that two angles are complementary, it means that the sum of their measures is 90°.
One angle has a measure of 40°.
Let the measure of the other angle be a.
According to the problem, the sum of their measures is 90°:
40 + a = 90
Subtracting 40 from both sides of the equation:
a = 90 - 40
a = 50
Therefore, the value of a is 50.
