Given:
The measure of an angle is 50 degrees.
To find:
The complement of the given angle.
Solution:
We know that the sum of an angle and its complement is 90 degrees.
Let x be the complement angle of 50 degrees.
[tex]x+50^\circ=90^\circ[/tex]
[tex]x=90^\circ-50^\circ[/tex]
[tex]x=40^\circ[/tex]
Therefore, the measure of complement of the given angle is 40 degrees.
