Question

two angles 1 and 2, in a diagram in a diagram are complementary.If m2=26, what equation can you write to solve from m1

Answer 1

Since two angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees.

So, we can write the equation:

m1 + m2 = 90

m2 is given as 26, so we can substitute that value:

m1 + 26 = 90

Now we can solve for m1 by subtracting 26 from both sides:

m1 = 90 - 26

m1 = 64
