Astronomers sometimes use angle measures divided into degrees, minutes, and seconds. One degree is equal to 60 minutes, and one minute is equal to 60 seconds. Suppose that ∠J and ∠K are complementary, and that the measure of ∠J is 48 degrees, 26 minutes, 8 seconds. What is the measure of ∠K?
The railroad tracks meet the road as shown. The town will allow a parking lot at angle K if the measure of angle K is greater than 38°. Can a parking lot be built at angle K ? Why or why not?
If two angles are complementary, each angle is called a complement of the other. If two angles are supplementary, each angle is called a supplement of the other.
a. Suppose m∠A = 77°. What is the measure of a complement of a complement of ∠A? Explain.
