question
find the measure of the missing angle.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
a =

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of right - angle

A right - angle is \(90^{\circ}\). Let the missing angle be \(a\). We know that the sum of the two non - right angles in a right - angled situation (formed by the given \(41^{\circ}\) angle and \(a\)) is \(90^{\circ}\).
So, \(a + 41^{\circ}=90^{\circ}\)

Step2: Solve for \(a\)

Subtract \(41^{\circ}\) from both sides of the equation \(a + 41^{\circ}=90^{\circ}\).
\(a=90^{\circ}-41^{\circ}\)
\(a = 49^{\circ}\)

Answer:

\(49\)
