17 degrees and 73 degrees

73°
and 34°

1 answer

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90°.

Let's check the pairs:

  1. 120° and 17°: \(120° + 17° = 137°\) (not complementary)
  2. 120° and 90°: \(120° + 90° = 210°\) (not complementary)
  3. 17° and 73°: \(17° + 73° = 90°\) (complementary)
  4. 73° and 34°: \(73° + 34° = 107°\) (not complementary)

Therefore, the two angle measures that correspond to complementary angles are 17° and 73°.
