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°
m angle 6 equals 39 degrees

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

m∠6=180°−39°

Answer 1

The correct equation to express the relationship between complementary angles ∠5 and ∠6 is:

**m∠6 + 39° = 90°**

This is because complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees. Given that m∠5 = 39°, you can set up the equation where m∠6 is the other angle.
