Question

Two angles are complementary. One measures 40 degrees . EXPLAIN how yyou can determine the measure of the other angle.

Answer 1

To determine the measure of the other angle, we need to recall that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Since we know that one angle measures 40 degrees and the two angles are complementary, we can calculate the measure of the other angle by subtracting the known angle from 90 degrees.

In this case, the measure of the other angle can be determined as follows:

90 degrees - 40 degrees = 50 degrees

Therefore, the measure of the other angle is 50 degrees.
