Question

Angles L and M are complementary. If the measurement of angle L is 16 degrees, what is the measurement of angle M?

Answer 1

`74°`.

Explanation:

By definition, complementary angles sum up to `90°`. So, if an angle `L` measures `16°`, its complementary `M` must be such that `L+M=90`, which means `16+M=90`. Solving for `M`, we have

`M=90-16 = 74`
