The definition of complementary angles is that the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Therefore, if angle 2 has a measure of 26 degrees, angle 1 must have a measure of:
m1 + 26 = 90
Subtracting 26 from both sides:
m1 = 90 - 26
m1 = 64
So, the equation to solve for m1 is:
m1 = 64
Two angles 1 and 2 in a diagram are complementary if m 2 = 26 what equation can you write to solve for m 1?
