Question

There are two complementary angles, ∠5
and ∠6
. If m∠5=39°
, what equation can you write to solve for m∠6
?(1 point)
Responses

m∠6+39°=90°
x plus 39 degrees equals 90 degrees

m∠6+39°=180°
x plus 39 degrees equals 180 degrees

m∠6=39°
x equals 39 degrees

m∠6=180°−39°

Answer 1

For two complementary angles, the sum of their measures is always 90°. Given that \( m∠5 = 39° \), you can write the equation for \( m∠6 \) as:

\[ m∠6 + 39° = 90° \]

So, the correct response is:

m∠6 + 39° = 90°
