There are two complementary angles, L5 and <6. If

mL5 = 39°, what equation can you write to solve for m<6?

1 answer

The sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90 degrees.

Given that mL5 = 39°, the equation to solve for m<6 is:

mL5 + m<6 = 90°

Substituting the given value, the equation becomes:

39° + m<6 = 90°
