Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Let's call the other angle x.
Since one angle is already given as 42 degrees, we can use the equation:
42 + x = 90
Subtracting 42 from both sides gives:
x = 90 - 42
x = 48
Therefore, the other complementary nonadjacent angle is 48 degrees.
2. There are 2 complementary nonadjacent angles. One angle is 42.What is the other?
