There are two complementary angles, ∠5

Question

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

m∠6=180°−39°
x equals 180 degrees minus 39 degrees

m∠6=39°
x equals 39 degrees

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

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

Answer 1

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Since we have \( m∠5 = 39° \), we can set up the equation for \( m∠6 \) as follows:

\[ m∠6 + 39° = 90° \]

So the correct equation to solve for \( m∠6 \) is:

m∠6 + 39° = 90°

Therefore, the response is:

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