Given the statement:
∠5 and ∠6 are complementary angles. m∠5=13°
Determine the measure of ∠6.
Solution:
Since we are asked for the complement angle, this means that the sum total of the angle is equal to 90° as stated by the complementary angle theorem. Hence, to solve for ∠6we simply subtract 90° by 13°
= 90° - 13°
∠6 = 77°
Final answer:
∠6 = 77°
