Question 393509: This is a question based on a figure not drawn to scale. If angle 2 is complementary to angle 3, and the measure of angle 1 is 130 degrees, what is the measure of angle 4? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It would be nice if you were to tell us what kind of figure you had in mind.
I have to deduce that it is a quadrilateral since you mention only four angles.
Let's use the following facts:
The sum of the four angles in any quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
If two angles are complimentary, then their sum is 90 degrees.
So, Angle 2 plus angle 3 = 90 degrees.
Then the sum of angles 1 and 4 is 360-90 = 270 degrees, and angle 4 is 270-130 = 140 degrees.
