Two angles are congruent and complementary. What is the measure of each angle?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

what's the sum of 2 complimentary angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

45 or 90

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

45? or 90? ok... put differently, to how much 2 complimentary angles add up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question says Two angles are congruent and complementary. What is the measure of each angle? 45° 90° The measure of each angle cannot be determined. 180° and i dont know what it is i am confused on what it is

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

... right... so do you know what a complementary angle is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes complementry angles are two angles whose sum is 90°

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

and congruent angles, means, angles who are equal to each other so you have 2 angles, who are equal, and add up to 90 degrees 2 equal halves of something, is usually just \(\bf \cfrac{something}{2}\\ \textit{same angle} + \textit{same angle}= 90 \implies 2\textit{same angle} = 90 \implies \textit{same angle} = \cfrac{90}{2}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ohh man, it got truncated... anyhow \(\bf \textit{same angle} + \textit{same angle} 90 \implies 2\textit{same angle} = 90\\ \implies \textit{same angle} = \cfrac{90}{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be 45 degrees cause if u divide 90/2=45

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap, 2 equal angles that add up to 90 degrees, 45 + 45 = 90

thanks for the help
