Question

what is the measure of the angle that is complementary to the given angle? 20° __°

Explanation:

Step1: Recall complementary angle definition

Complementary angles sum to \(90^\circ\). Let the complementary angle be \(x\). So, \(x + 20^\circ = 90^\circ\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(20^\circ\) from both sides: \(x = 90^\circ - 20^\circ\)
\(x = 70^\circ\)

Answer:

\(70\)
