Question

The measure of < HIK is 68.30. If < HIK and < RST are complementary angles, what is the measure, in degrees, of < RST?

Answer 1

the measure of < RST is 21.70 degrees.

Explanation:

If < HIK and < RST are complementary angles, it means that the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.

Let's denote the measure of < RST as x.

Given that the measure of < HIK is 68.30 degrees, we can set up the following equation:

68.30 + x = 90

To solve for x, we subtract 68.30 from both sides:

x = 90 - 68.30

Calculating the value:

x = 21.70
