Question

What is the complement of a 54 1/2 degree angle

Answer 1

Answer:
`\begin{equation*} 35(1)/(2)\text{ degrees} \end{equation*}`Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are complementary if their sum is 90 degrees

Therefore, to get a complement of 54 1/2 degrees, we will have to subtract it from 90 degrees

Let the complement of 54 1/2 be represented by x

`\begin{gathered} x=90-54(1)/(2) \\ \\ x=90-(109)/(2) \\ \\ x=(180-109)/(2) \\ \\ x=(71)/(2) \\ \\ x=35(1)/(2)\text{ degrees} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the complement of angle 54 1/2 degrees is angle 35 1/2 degrees
