Example Question #16 : Complementary Angles

Sup2

The angles above are complementary.

What is the size of the larger angle?

Possible Answers:

 

 

 

 

 

Correct answer:

 

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary when they add up to .

Example Question #18 : Complementary Angles

Angles and b are complementary.  If , what is the value of b?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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 ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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 and b are complementary.  If , find b.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if they add up to .
