Algebra.Com's Answer #224805 by rapaljer(4671)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! To find the complement of an angle, subtract from 90 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "90-26=64 degrees\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dr. Rapalje\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P.S. As a follow-up question, If a jetliner is flying 72 degrees north of east, and the tower orders it to change course by turning 7 degrees to the right. Describe the course in terms of how many degrees north of east the plane is flying. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: Draw a picture showing North straight up and East to the right. Then, since the jetliner is flying 72 degrees North of East, and it turns 7 degrees to the right, you have to subtract 72-7 = 65 degrees north of east. \n" ); document.write( " |
