A figure consists of five angles measures 17, 34, 90, 120, and 73. Which two angles measures correspond to complementary angles

1 answer

Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.

Of the given angles, 90 is already one of the angles that corresponds to a complementary angle because 90 + x = 90 for any value of x.

To find the other angle that corresponds to a complementary angle, we can subtract each angle measure from 90 and see which two angles have a sum of 90.

90 - 17 = 73
90 - 34 = 56
90 - 120 = -30
90 - 73 = 17

Out of these results, 56 and 34 have a sum of 90 degrees.

Therefore, the two angles that correspond to complementary angles are 34 and 56.
