Question

The measure of an angle is 14.2°. What is the measure of its complementary angle

Answer 1

75.8º

Explanation:

The sum of complimentary angles is 90º

c + 14.2 = 90

Subtract 14.2 from both sides

c = 90 - 14.2

c = 75.8º

Answer 2

Complementary angles are the angles whose sum makes 90 degrees. According to the question, the other angle is 14.2 degrees more than the complementary angle. Therefore, 14.2° will be added to the other angle.
