What is the value of m< 1 to be if <1 and<2 our complementary angles and m<2= 85°

3 answers

If <1 and <2 are complementary angles, it means that their sum is 90 degrees. Therefore, if m<2 = 85 degrees, we can find the value of m<1 by subtracting m<2 from 90:

m<1 = 90° - m<2 = 90° - 85° = 5°.

So, the value of m<1 needs to be 5 degrees to make <1 and <2 complementary angles.
What are complementary angles?
Complementary angles are a pair of angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees. In other words, when two angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is equal to a right angle. Therefore, if one angle is x degrees, the other angle in the pair will be 90 degrees - x.
