Math Problem Statement
If two angles are complementary, and one of them measures 37 degrees, what is the measure of the other angle? * a) 37° b) 53° c) 127° d) 143°
Solution
Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is .
Given that one angle is , we can find the other angle by subtracting from :
So, the measure of the other angle is 53°.
The correct answer is:
