Algebra.Com's Answer #377665 by math-vortex(648)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The two puzzle pieces fit together to form a right angle. In mathematics, two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is equal to 90 degrees. A right angle has a measure of 90 degrees, so the angles of these two puzzle pieces are complementary angles.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We just need to subtract to find the missing angle measure: \n" ); document.write( "90 - 47 = 43 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The angle of the other puzzle piece is 43 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That's it.
