Question

the measure of angle x is 55°. she drew another angle that was complementary to angle y. what is the measure of the new angle?

Answer 1

35 degrees

Explanation:

Answer 2

Sum of complementary angle is always equal to 90°.

Like if x and y are the two complementary angles then we can write:

x+y=90°.

55+y=90° Since x=55°

y=90-55 Subtracting 55 from each sides.

y=35.

So, measure of new angle is 35°.
