In a diagram, A and B re vertical angles, and B is a complementary angle with C. If A=22, write an equation that you can use to solve for C

1 answer

Based on the given information, we know that A and B are vertical angles, which means they are congruent. Additionally, B is a complementary angle with C, which means their sum equals 90 degrees.

Since A = 22, we can write an equation to solve for C by considering the angles involved:

A = B (vertical angles are congruent)
A = 22

B + C = 90 (complementary angles sum to 90 degrees)

Substituting the value of A in the equation B + C = 90, we get:

22 + C = 90

Thus, the equation that can be used to solve for C is:

C = 90 - 22 = 68
