Two angles 1 and 2 in a diagram are complementary. If m2=26 what equation can you write to solve for m1
Given that two angles are complementary, it means that the sum of their measures is equal to 90 degrees.
Let's denote the measure of angle 1 as m1.
Since angle 2 has a measure of 26 degrees (m2 = 26), we can set up the equation:
m1 + m2 = 90
Plugging in the known values, we get:
m1 + 26 = 90
To solve for m1, we subtract 26 from both sides of the equation:
m1 = 90 - 26
Simplifying, we find:
m1 = 64
Therefore, the equation to solve for m1 is m1 = 64.
