Example Questions

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 #451 : Geometry And Graphs

Two angles are complementary if they add up to:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if they add up to .

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 #452 : Geometry And Graphs

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 #453 : Geometry And Graphs

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 #454 : Geometry And Graphs

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:
