Question

An illustration shows two non-adjacent angles, with angle J K L measuring 34 degrees and angle G H I measuring x degrees. Ray K L is vertical, and ray H I is horizontal.

If ∠LKJ and ∠GHI are complementary angles, what is the angle measure of ∠GHI?

Answer 1

56° (56 degrees)

Since the two angles are complementary, their sum must be 90 degrees. Therefore, if angle JKL measures 34 degrees, angle GHI must measure 90 - 34 = 56 degrees.
