Question

What is the complement to an angle measuring 5 degrees?

Answer 1

Given:

a.) an measuring 5 degrees.

The angle that is a complement to the angle that measures 5 degrees must have a total of 90 degrees when they are added together.

We get,

`\text{ }\angle1+5^(\circ)=90^(\circ)`
`\text{ }\angle1=90^(\circ)-5^(\circ)`

`\text{ }\angle1=85^(\circ)`

Therefore, the angle that is a complement to an angle measuring 5 degrees is 85 degrees.
