Q. Brody drew two adjacent angles that form a right angle. The measure of one of the angles is 43∘. Let m represent the measure of the second angle. Which equation models the problem?Choices:(A) 43+m=90(B) m−43=90Solve this equation to find the measure of the second angle.____∘
Understand the problem: Step 1: Understand the problem and set up the equation.Since the two angles form a right angle, their sum must be 90°. Given one angle is 43°, let m be the measure of the second angle. The correct equation to model this situation is:43+m=90
Set up equation: Step 2: Solve the equation for m.Subtract 43 from both sides to isolate m:43+m−43=90−43m=47
