Question

Find m<1 if <1 is complementary to <2, <2 is supplementary to <3, and

m<3 = 126

Answer 1

∠ 1 = 36°

Explanation:

Supplementary angles sum to 180° then

∠ 2 + ∠ 3 = 180° , that is

∠ 2 + 126° = 180° ( subtract 126° from both sides )

∠ 2 = 54°

Complementary angles sum to 90° , then

∠ 1 + ∠ 2 = 90° , that is

∠ 1 + 54° = 90° ( subtract 54° from both sides )

∠ 1 = 36°
