Explanation
We know, two angles are complementary when they add up to 90o.
Given, measure of one complementary angle is =20∘.
⇒ Measure of other complementary angle =90o−20o =70o.
∴ Measure of a complementary angle of 20^{\circ} = 70^{\circ}.
Therefore, option B is correct.
If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is equal to 180^\circ which is also known as a linear pair.
Consider the given triangle, we can easily apply exterior angle property of triangle.
For given triangle XYZ,
\angle 1+\angle 2+\angle z=180^{o}
Also, \angle 3+\angle z=180^{o} ......... (Linear pair of angles)
\angle 1+\angle 2+\angle z=\angle 3 +\angle z
\Rightarrow \angle 3=\angle 1+\angle 2 ...... (which is the Exterior angle property).
Therefore, we can say that, an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles.
Hence, option A is correct.
We know, two angles whose sum is equal to 90^o are known as complementary angles.
Here,
the sum, \angle 2+\angle 3, is vetrically opposite to a perpendicular.
We know, two angles are complementary when they add up to 90^o.
Given, measure of one complementary angle is 12.7^o.
\Rightarrow Measure of other complementary angle =90^o-12.7^o =77.3^o.
\therefore Measure of a complementary angle of 12.7^{o}=77.3^o.
