Question

What is the measure of the complement of an angle that measures 16°?

A.
164°

B.
106°

C.
74°

D.
29°

Answer 1

90°-16°=74° There is also a picture

Answer 2

Angles that are complementary have a sum of 90 degrees.

Therefore, if an angle measures 16 degrees, its complement has to measure the difference between 90 and 16.

90 - 16 = 74

Thus, the measure of the complement of an angle that measures 16 degrees is C. 74 degrees.
