Math Problem Statement
The m∠DOG is 60°. Find the measure of its complement.
Solution
To find the measure of the complement of the given angle, we can use the fact that two angles are complementary if their sum is 90°.
Given that , the complement can be found as follows:
So, the measure of the complement is .
