Question

If the measure of an angle is 49 degrees, what is the measure of its complement?

a. 41 degrees
b. 131 degrees
c. 139 degrees
d. 180 degrees

(with explanation)

Answer 1

Answer: a. 41 degrees

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.

So, to find the complement of an angle, subtract the angle's measure from 90 degrees.

The complement of a 49 degree angle is 41 degrees (90 - 49 = 41).

Hope this helps!
