Answer:

69.5 if C and D both add up to 90, M=90 if both angles C and D were complementary to combine to a supplementary.

Explanation:

You're trying to find m which is a variable for measurement for the "D" angle.

Info Given:

20.5 for angle C

Unknown for angle D

Both angles are Complementary.

_____________________________________________

I have 2 answers for this (The question was stated unclearly so I have 2 interpretations of this)

1st Answer:

If you're asking to solve for M but the C and D angles add up to 90 then do

90 - 20.5 = 69.5

2nd Answer:

We know that both angles are complementary which are 90-degree angles.

If we combine them then the angles add up to 180.

So C and D add up to form a Supplementary Angle.

20.5+69.5 + m = 180

Then M could possibly be 90.
