Question

Find the measure of the complement of the angle. 80°

Answer 1

The complement of an angle is another angle that, when added to the first angle, it's equal to 90°.

In other words, the sum of a number and its complement is always equal to 90°.

Using the variable x to represent the complementary angle, we can write the following equation:

`80+x=90`

Then, solving the equation for x, we have:

`\begin{gathered} x=90-80 \\ x=10\degree \end{gathered}`

So the complement of 80° is equal to 10°.
