Complementary measurements

Question

Angles 1 & 2 are complementary. Angle 2 is vertical to a 65 degree angle. What are the measurements of angles 1 & 2?

Answer 1

Hi Jennifer-

 

Vertical angles are congruent, so that means that Angle 2 is 65, just like its vertical.

 

And since complementary angles add up to 90, angle 1 must be 90 - 65, which is...

 

25.

 

Hope this helps!
