These two angles are complementary.

Question

1. 50° and 2. X
What is the measure of /_x?
/_x = [?]°

Answer 1

Two angles are complementary if their measures add up to 90 degrees.

Given that one angle is 50°, we can set up the equation:

\( 50° + X = 90° \)

To find the value of X, subtract 50° from both sides:

\[ X = 90° - 50° = 40° \]

So, the measure of angle X is:

\[ /_x = 40° \]
