Question

Two angles are complementary. One has a measure of 19 degrees. What is the measure of the other angle.

Answer 1

71

Explanation:

a complementary angle is the sum of 2 angles that equals 90. So if one angle is 19 degrees then 19- 90 = 71 so the other angle measure is 71

Answer 2

71 degrees

Explanation:

If the angles are complementary, they add up to 90. Let x be the angle we are trying to find the measure of:

x+19=90

Subtract 19 from both sides

x=71

71 degrees
