WHAT IS A COMPLEMENTARY ANGLE?

Complementary comes from the word complement. When two angles sum a total of 90°, they 'complement' each other. A complementary angle is a combination of two angles whose sum is equal to 90°.

BACK TO THE QUESTION

The question is asking what the measure of the other angle is. The given angle is 28°.

HOW TO FIND YOUR ANSWER

When you're given the measure of one of the angles, it's easy to find the other. All you have to do is subtract the measure of the angle from 90°.

In this question, you are given that the angle is 28°. That means you have to subtract 28 from 90.
