Question

find the unknown complementary angle.
61°
x
x = \boxed{\space}^\circ (simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall complementary angles sum to 90°

Complementary angles add up to \( 90^\circ \). So, if one angle is \( 61^\circ \) and the other is \( x \), we have the equation \( 61^\circ + x = 90^\circ \).

Step2: Solve for x

Subtract \( 61^\circ \) from both sides of the equation: \( x = 90^\circ - 61^\circ \).
Calculating the right - hand side: \( 90 - 61 = 29 \), so \( x = 29^\circ \).

Answer:

\( 29 \)
