Actually,
this image already shows the *answers* — it’s titled “
Complementary Angles (A) Answers”.
So you’re not being asked to solve a problem — you’re looking at the
solution key.

🔍 Let’s explain what’s going on:
The instructions say:
>
“Identify the missing angle measurement in each set of complementary angles.”
✔ Complementary angles are two angles that add up to
90°.
In each diagram:
- There’s a right angle (∠CDF = 90°), formed by rays DC and DF.
- A ray DE splits that right angle into two smaller angles: ∠CDE and ∠EDF.
- One angle is given, and the other is the “missing” angle you’re supposed to find.
Since they’re complementary:
>
Missing angle = 90° – Given angle

✔ Let’s verify one example:
Top left diagram:
- Given: ∠CDE = 68°
- Missing: ∠EDF = ?
- Calculation: 90° – 68° =
22° → ✔️ Matches the answer shown.
Top right diagram:
- Given: ∠CDE = 53°
- Missing: ∠EDF = 90° – 53° =
37° → ✔️ Correct.
Bottom right diagram:
- Given: ∠CDE = 17°
- Missing: ∠EDF = 90° – 17° =
73° → ✔️ Correct.

📌 Summary:
You’ve uploaded the
answer sheet, not the worksheet. Each pair of angles adds to 90°, so to find the missing angle, subtract the given angle from 90°.
If you were meant to *solve* this, you’d do:
>
Missing Angle = 90° – Given Angle
All answers shown in the image are correct.

✔ So the “solution” is:
Each missing angle is 90° minus the labeled angle — and all answers provided in the image are mathematically correct.
