Question

PLEASE HELP IM CONFUSED

If angle ACB is 1 degree 25 minutes (1°25’) what is angle ACD. Please give your answer as degrees and minutes.

Answer 1

178° 35'

Explanation:

∠ACB and ∠ACD are supplementary, so they add up to 180°.

First, convert to degrees (there are 60 minutes in a degree).

∠ACB = 1°25' = 1° + (25/60)° = 1.4167°

Now find the supplementary:

∠ACD = 180° − 1.4167°

∠ACD = 178.5833°

∠ACD = 178° 35'
