Example Questions

Example Question #23 : Angle Geometry

Two angles are complementary. If the first angle is , what is the value of the second angle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if they add up to . So, we can write it as the formula:

Now, we know one angle is . So, we can substitute and solve for the other angle. So, we get

Therefore, the other angle is .

Example Question #1421 : Ged Math

What angle is complementary to 80 degrees?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles must add up to 90 degrees.

To find the other angle, we must subtract 80 from 90 degrees.

The answer is:  

Example Question #26 : Complementary Angles

Suppose two angles are complementary.  If one angle measurement is  radians, what must be the other angle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees, or  radians.

Subtract  radians from  radians.

The answer is:  

Example Question #1422 : Ged Math

Suppose two angles are complementary.  If one angle measurement is 52 degrees, what is the other angle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees.

Subtract the known angle from 90.

The answer is:  

Example Question #1423 : Ged Math

Suppose two angles are complementary.  What is the value of the other angle if a known angle is 43 degrees?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles must add up to 90 degrees.

Subtract the known angle from 90.

The answer is:  

Example Question #31 : Complementary Angles

Use the following angles to answer the question:

Angle2

If these two angles are complementary, find the value of x

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if they add up to . So, we can use the formula

where x and y are the angles.

So, given the angles

Angle2

we can see one angle is . So, we can substitute and solve for x. We get

Example Question #31 : Angle Geometry

If angle measure is  degrees, what is the other angle if both angles are complementary?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.

To determine the other angle, subtract 81 from 90.

The answer is:  

Example Question #1426 : Ged Math

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 . We can use the formula:

where x and y are the angles. 

Now, we know one angle is . So, we will substitute and solve for the other angle. We get

Example Question #32 : Complementary Angles

If an angle is measured 35 degrees, what is the other angle if both angles are complementary?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees.

To find the other angle, subtract the known angle from 90 degrees.

The answer is:  

Example Question #32 : Complementary Angles

Suppose two angles are complementary.  What must  be if the angles are  and  degrees?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The sum of both angles must add up to 90 degrees.

Solve for the variable.

Add 5 on both sides.

Divide by 10 on both sides.

Simplify the fraction.

The answer is:
