If <1 and <2 are complementary angles, that means their sum is 90 degrees. Let mL1 represent the measure of angle <1.
We know that mL2 = 85°, so the measure of <1 is:
mL1 + 85° = 90°
Subtracting 85° from both sides of the equation, we get:
mL1 = 90° - 85°
mL1 = 5°
Therefore, the value of mL1 is 5 degrees.
A) What is the value of mL1 to be if
<1 and <2 are complementary angles and m L2 = 85° ?
