Question

the measure of an angle is 26°. what is the measure of its complementary angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall complementary - angle definition

Complementary angles add up to 90°.

Step2: Calculate the complementary - angle measure

Let the measure of the complementary angle be \(x\). We know that \(x + 26^{\circ}=90^{\circ}\), so \(x = 90^{\circ}-26^{\circ}\).
\(x = 64^{\circ}\)

Answer:

64°
