Question

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

Answer 1

To determine the measure of the other angle, we need to understand that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.

Given that one angle measures 40 degrees, we can subtract 40 degrees from 90 degrees to find the measure of the other angle.

90 degrees - 40 degrees = 50 degrees

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