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 41 degrees, 38 minutes, 9 seconds. What is the measure of ∠K?

Pleaseee answer now!!!

Respuesta :

The measure of ∠K is 49 degrees 22 minutes 51 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∠J and ∠K are complementary.

∠J = 41°38'9".

∠K = ?

When a sum of two angles result is 90°, then it is called as complementary angles.

Since ∠J and ∠K are complementary, then their sum is 90°.

∠J +∠K=90°.

∠K= 90° - ∠J.

=90°60'60" - 41°38'9".

=49°22'51".

∠K= 49 degrees 22 minutes 51 seconds.
