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°
m angle 6 plus 39 degrees equals 90 degrees

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

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

m∠6=39°

Answer 1

Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees. In this case, since angle ∠5 measures 39°, you can write the equation for angle ∠6 as:

\[ m∠6 + 39° = 90° \]

So, the correct response is:

**m∠6 + 39° = 90°**
