These two angles are complementary.

1. X and 2. 115°
What is the measure of /_x?
x = [?]°

1 answer

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees. Given one angle is 115°, you can find the measure of angle X by using the equation:

\[ x + 115° = 90° \]

To find \( x \), subtract 115° from both sides:

\[ x = 90° - 115° \] \[ x = -25° \]

Since angles cannot have negative measures in this context, it indicates that the given angles cannot be complementary. Therefore, there is no valid measure for angle \( x \) that satisfies the conditions provided in the problem.
