Question 932378: Please help me with this question: How do you know if two angles are complementary and that one angle measures x, what is the measurement of the other angle?
I drew a triangle and in one corner I wrote X and in the other 2 corners I don't know what to do

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If one angle is x, then the other has to be 90-x. Notice how x and 90-x add up to 90. This is of course assuming the two angles are complementary.
