Question

A figure consists of four angles. The angle measures are as follows: m∠1=65° , m∠2=90° , m∠3=30° , and m∠4=25° . Which two angles are complementary angles? Identify by the angle number and not the degree measurement. List the smaller angle value first and the larger angle value second.(1 point)

To find complementary angles, we look for two angles that sum to 90 degrees.

From the given angles:

  • m∠1 = 65°
  • m∠2 = 90°
  • m∠3 = 30°
  • m∠4 = 25°

Now we check which pairs sum to 90 degrees:

  • ∠1 (65°) + ∠3 (30°) = 95° (not complementary)
  • ∠1 (65°) + ∠4 (25°) = 90° (complementary)
  • ∠2 (90°) (not complementary with any other angle)
  • ∠3 (30°) + ∠4 (25°) = 55° (not complementary)

The two angles that are complementary are: smaller ∠4 and larger ∠1.

So, the answer is: 4 and 1.
