Complementary angles are two angles whose measures when added together equal 90 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the measures of angles R and G total 90 degrees:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "In equation form and using your notation this is:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "m<)R + m<)G = 90
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "But you are told that m<)R = 81 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute 81 for m<)R in the equation and you have:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "81 + m<)G = 90
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 81 from both sides of this equation and you get the answer:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "m<)G = 90 - 81 = 9
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "m<)G = 9 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "I hope that this helps you to understand complementary angles and how they are defined.
