Question

Two angles, ∠1
and ∠2
, in a diagram are complementary. If m∠2=26°
, what equation can you write to solve for m∠1
?(1 point)

Answer 1

Since angles ∠1 and ∠2 are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees. Given that \( m∠2 = 26° \), you can write the equation for \( m∠1 \) as follows:

\[
m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°
\]

Substituting the measure of \( m∠2 \):

\[
m∠1 + 26° = 90°
\]

So the equation to solve for \( m∠1 \) is:

\[
m∠1 + 26° = 90°
\]
