Write and solve an equation to find the complement of a 42 degree angle. tell what the variable represents.

The complememtn is the angle that adds to the angle to get 90

so

the complement of angle a is b if

a+b=90

so

the comlmement of a 42 degree angle is

42+complement=90

complmement=c

42+c=90

minus 42 both sides

c=48

the measure of the complement is 48 degrees

c is the complement
