Two angles, <1 and <2, in a diagram are complementary. If m<2 = 26, wu equation can u write to solve for m<1?

Question

m<1 + ___ = ___

Answer 1

Since angles \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 2 \) are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees. This can be expressed with the equation:

\[ m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 = 90 \]

Given that \( m\angle 2 = 26 \), we can substitute this value into the equation:

\[ m\angle 1 + 26 = 90 \]

So, we can fill in the blanks as follows:

\[ m\angle 1 + 26 = 90 \]
