Answer:

m∠2=5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are said to be complementary if they add up to 90 degrees.

If angles 1 and 2 are complementary, then:


m\angle1+m\angle2=90\degree

Substitute the given value of angle 1:


\begin{gathered} 85\degree+m\angle2=90\degree \\ m\angle2=90\degree-85\degree \\ m\angle2=5\degree \end{gathered}

The measure of angle 2 is 5 degrees.
