Example Question #22 : Complementary And Supplementary Angles

What angle do I add to  to make the sum complementary?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Define complementary angles.

Complementary angles are two angles that must always add up to 90.

Step 2: Find the other angle:

The sum must be 90, so subtract the given angle from the sum to find the missing angle:



The missing angle is
