Example Question #16 : Complementary Angles
The angles above are complementary.
What is the size of the larger angle?
Since the angles are complementary, you know that they must add up to a total of degrees. Based on our data, this means:
Simplifying, you get:
It is best to compute both angles to be safe:
degrees
This means that the other is degrees
Example Question #1411 : Ged Math
Complementary angles add up to how many degrees?
Two angles are complementary when they add up to .
Example Question #18 : Complementary Angles
Angles a and b are complementary. If , what is the value of b?
Two angles are complementary when they add up to . So, to find the value of complementary angles, we will use the following formula:
Now, we know
So, we will substitute and solve for b. We get
Example Question #19 : Complementary Angles
If two angles are complementary, and one angle is , what is the value of the other angle?
Two angles are complementary if they add up to . So, to find complementary angles, we will use the following formula:
Now, we know the value of one angle is , so we will substitute. We get
Now, we will solve for b. We get
Therefore, the value of the other angle is .
Example Question #1412 : Ged Math
What angle is complementary to ?
Complementary angles sum up to 90.
This means that the other angle must be the difference from 90.
Combine like-terms.
The answer is:
Example Question #21 : Complementary Angles
Angles a and b are complementary. If , find b.
Two angles are complementary if they add up to . So, we will use the following formula:
We know , so we will substitute and solve for b. We get
Example Question #22 : Complementary Angles
If two angles are complementary, and one angle is measured degrees, what must be the other angle?
Complementary angles sum up to degrees.
Simply subtract the given angle from to determine the expression.
Combine like-terms.
The answer is:
Example Question #21 : Complementary Angles
Suppose two angles are complementary. If an angle is radians, what must be the value of the other angle?
Recall that .
Complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees, or .
To find the other angle, subtract radians from radians.
The answer is:
Example Question #21 : Angle Geometry
Suppose two angles are complementary. If an angle is measured degrees, what is the other angle?
The sum of both angles will be 90 degrees since they are complementary.
Subtract the given angle from 90.
The answer is:
Example Question #1413 : Ged Math
Two angles are complementary if they add up to:
Two angles are complementary if they add up to .
