a) an angle measures 40 degrees. What is the measure of its complement? b) an angle measures 26 degrees. What is the measure of its compliment?

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

A) 40 + c = 90

subtract 40 from each side

40+c - 40 = 90-40

c = 50

The complement is 50 degrees

B) 26 + c = 90

subtract 26 from each side

26+c - 26 = 90-26

c = 64

The complement is 64 degrees
