Question

the measure of an angle is 2°. what is the measure of its complementary angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall complementary angle definition

Complementary angles sum to \(90^\circ\). Let the complementary angle be \(x\). So, \(2^\circ + x = 90^\circ\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(2^\circ\) from both sides: \(x = 90^\circ - 2^\circ = 88^\circ\).

Answer:

\(88\)
