Finding Unknown Angle Measures

Finding Unknown Angle Measurements

What do we already know?

Angle ABC = 40 $\degree$  

What else do we know?

Solve for  $\angle$  CBH
90 $\degree$  - 40 $\degree$  = ?

Where did 90 $\degree$ come from? 

90 $\degree$  is the measure of  $\angle$  ABH which is a right angle.

Complementary Angles

are two angles that add up to 90°

Example from the picture to the right: 40° + 50° = 90°

More

Examples: 45° + 45° = 90°

Example: 82° + 8° = 90°
