Chapter 12, Problem 3MCQ

To determine

Tostate whether the angles are complementary, supplementary, or neither.

Answer to Problem 3MCQ

The two angles, $m\angle 5\text{ and }m\angle 6$ are complementary to each other.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:the angles are given as,

  $\begin{array}{l}m\angle 5=37°\\ m\angle 6=53°\end{array}$

The given angles can be evaluated as,

  $\begin{array}{l}m\angle 5+m\angle 6\\ =37°+53°\\ =90°\end{array}$

Since the sum of the angle is obtained as $90°$ .

Therefore,

The two angles, $m\angle 5\text{ and }m\angle 6$ are complementary to each other.
