Question
The two angles shown are complimentary angles. This means that, together, they form a right angle which equals 90 degrees. Which of the following equations could be used to find the measure of angle x? Select one:90 - x = 62highlight_offx - 90 = 62highlight_off62 - x = 90highlight_offx - 62 = 90highlight_off
Solution
The correct equation to find the measure of angle x would be 90 - x = 62. This is because the sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90 degrees. So, if one angle measures 62 degrees, the other angle (x) would be found by subtracting 62 from 90.
