Question

What angle measure is complementary to a 65 angle?

Answer 1

The Definition of Complementary Angles states that if two angles are

complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90°.

To find the complement of an angle, we take 90 degrees minus the

measure of the angle which in this case 90° - 65° or 25°.

So the complement of the 65° angle measures 25°.

Answer 2

x = 25

Explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

x+65 = 90

Subtract 65 from each side

x = 90-65

x = 25
