These two angles are complementary.

Question

1. X and 2. 85°
What is the measure of /_x?
x = [?]°

Answer 1

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Given that one angle measures 85°, we can find the measure of angle X:

\[ X + 85° = 90° \]

To find X, subtract 85° from both sides:

\[ X = 90° - 85° \] \[ X = 5° \]

Thus, the measure of angle X is:

\[ x = 5° \]
