A figure displays two complementary nonadjacent angles. If one angle measure is 79°, what is the other angle measure?

Question

11°

21°

121°

101°

Answer 1

If two angles are complementary, their sum is always 90 degrees.

Let's assume that the other angle measure is x degrees.

According to the problem, one angle measure is 79°.

Therefore, we can write the equation:

79 + x = 90

To find the value of x, we can isolate it by subtracting 79 from both sides of the equation.

x = 90 - 79

x = 11

So, the other angle measure is 11°.

The correct answer is 11°.
