Example Question #451 :Geometry And Graphs

Anglesaandbare complementary. If, findb.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if they add up to. So, we will use the following formula:

We know, so we will substitute and solve forb. We get

Example Question #452 :Geometry And Graphs

If two angles are complementary, and one angle is measureddegrees, what must be the other angle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles sum up todegrees.

Simply subtract the given angle fromto determine the expression.

Combine like-terms.

The answer is:

Example Question #453 :Geometry And Graphs

Suppose two angles are complementary. If an angle isradians, what must be the value of the other angle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Recall that.

Complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees, or.

To find the other angle, subtractradians fromradians.

The answer is:

Example Question #454 :Geometry And Graphs

Suppose two angles are complementary. If an angle is measureddegrees, what is the other angle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The sum of both angles will be 90 degrees since they are complementary.

Subtract the given angle from 90.

The answer is:

Example Question #455 :Geometry And Graphs

Two angles are complementary if they add up to:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if they add up to.

Example Question #456 :Geometry And Graphs

Two angles are complementary. If the first angle is, what is the value of the second angle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if they add up to. So, we can write it as the formula:

Now, we know one angle is. So, we can substitute and solve for the other angle. So, we get

Therefore, the other angle is.

Example Question #457 :Geometry And Graphs

What angle is complementary to 80 degrees?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles must add up to 90 degrees.

To find the other angle, we must subtract 80 from 90 degrees.

The answer is:

Example Question #458 :Geometry And Graphs

Suppose two angles are complementary. If one angle measurement isradians, what must be the other angle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees, orradians.

Subtractradians fromradians.

The answer is:

Example Question #459 :Geometry And Graphs

Suppose two angles are complementary. If one angle measurement is 52 degrees, what is the other angle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees.

Subtract the known angle from 90.

The answer is:

Example Question #460 :Geometry And Graphs

Suppose two angles are complementary. What is the value of the other angle if a known angle is 43 degrees?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles must add up to 90 degrees.

Subtract the known angle from 90.

The answer is:
