Respuesta :
If we knew that two angles were complementary and were given the measure of one of those angles, then we can find the measure of the other angle by subtracting the given measure of one angle from 90
Solution:
Given that,
If you knew that two angles were complementary and were given the measure of one of those angles, would you be able to find the measure of the other angle
Yes we can find the measure of another angle
Complementary angles:
Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees
Therefore, if measure of one angle is given, then we can find the measure of another angle
Measure of another angle = 90 - measure of one angle
Example:
If x and y are complementary angles
Given that measure of angle x is 45 degrees
Then we can say,
According to complementary angles definition
x + y = 90
45 + y = 90
y = 90 - 45
y = 45
Thus measure of other angle y is found to be 45 degrees
