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°=180°
x plus 39 degrees equals 180 degrees

m∠6=39°
x equals 39 degrees

m∠6+39°=90°

Answer 1

Since ∠5 and ∠6 are complementary angles, their measures add up to 90 degrees. Therefore, if \( m∠5 = 39° \), you can write the equation for \( m∠6 \) as:

\( m∠6 + 39° = 90° \)

So, the correct response is:

m∠6 + 39° = 90°
