Question

One angle pair of complementary angles is given find measure for angle 2

Answer 1

Two angles are complementary if their sum adds up to 90º, it is not necessary for the angles to be adjacent to be complementary angles.

An example of two complementary angles can be:

Given the angles ∠1 and ∠2 that are complementary, if you know the measure of ∠1, you can calculate the measure of the complement by subtracting its measure to 90º

`\begin{gathered} \angle1+\angle2=90º \\ \end{gathered}`

The complement can be calculated as

`\angle2=90º-\angle1`
