Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

All triangles are made up of 3 angles totally 180 degrees.

In addition a right triangle has a measurement of 90 degrees.

The other two angles must add to 90 degrees as will. That is the definition of complementary. (2 angles add to 90 degrees).

Formula

x + 28 = 90

Solution

x + 28 = 90 Subtract 28 from both sides.

x+28 -28=90 - 28

x = 62

The measure of the second angle is 62
