One of two complementary nonadjacent angles has a measure of 43° . What is the other angle measure?

5 answers

Since the angles are complementary, and since angles are often thought of as lying in a line or on a line, we conclude that the other angle has measure $\boxed{90^\circ - 43^\circ = 47^\circ }$.
How did you get it correct??????
In this case, we are told that the two angles are complementary. When two angles are complementary, it means that they add up to $90^{\circ}$.

Since we know one of the angles has measure $43^{\circ}$, we can subtract this angle from $90^{\circ}$ to find the measure of the other angle:

$90^{\circ} - 43^{\circ} = 47^{\circ}.$

Therefore, the other angle has a measure of $\boxed{47^{\circ}}$.
I see now. Thank you! You've actually helped this time
