Question

What equation could be used to identify the measure of angle a?

complement of 52

Question 2 options:

52 + a = 180


52 + a = 90


52 - a = 90


52 - a = 180

Answer 1

52 + a = 90

Explanation:

The sum of any angle a, and it's complement, is 90 degrees.

Important to note:

Complement: Sum is 90 degrees

Suplement: Sum is 180 degrees.

In this problem, we have that:

Angle a.

Angle 52

The sum of the angle a and it's complement of 52 is 90.

So the correct answer is:

52 + a = 90
